POWER PROPULSION SYSTEM FOR AIRSHIP Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B64D35/04 B64B1/32 B64D27/24 

FIELD: aircraft engineering.

SUBSTANCE: power propulsion system for airship contains an airship hull, propellers connected to electric motors, a power generation unit connected with electric motors. The power unit is designed as a jet engine with the controlled nozzle. The main power generation element is designed as an electric generator the shaft of which is connected to the power unit shaft. The airship hull is designed tear-shaped along the perimeter of which from outer side the electric motors electrically connected to the electric generator and mechanically connected to propellers are installed. The housings of electric motors are designed spherical with a possibility of installation in spherical borings of supports for installation of electric motors. The accumulator electrically connected through the control unit of the electric generator to the electric generator is installed in the airship hull.

EFFECT: improvement of dynamic characteristics, controllability and stability of the airship.
