AEROSTATIC AIRBORNE VEHICLE (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B64C37/02 B64B1/24 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aircraft engineering. In compliance with this invention, this airborne vehicle comprises controlled engine and cargo engine-free aerostat modules. In compliance with first version, said modules have front and lateral docking systems for assembly to airborne vehicle. In compliance with second version, said modules comprise device for mutual detection and approach on ground and in air. In compliance with third version, load-bearing part of said modules is composed by gas and heat aerostats. Aerostatic complex of every module incorporates structural platform that makes a basic structure for assembly of modules to airborne vehicle. In compliance with fourth version, shells of said gas and heat aerostats make sectors of integral shell approximating in shape to semi-cylinder. Side sectors are gas sectors while mid sectors are heat sectors. In compliance with fifth version, this vehicle comprises means to control heat aerostats ventilation.

EFFECT: variable configuration and load-lifting capacity, ruled out balancing.
