FIELD: aeronautics.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aeronautics and can be used for transportation of heavy stages of carrier rockets. Airship for transportation of heavy stages of carrier rockets has two rigid hulls filled with chambers with helium and two air ballonets made in the form of halves of ellipsoid of rotation, symmetrical relative to midship and connected by power deck. Payload – carrier rocket heavy stage – is secured to power deck from below. In the front part of the power deck there is a sealed bow compartment, in the lower part of which there is a crew cabin. Sealed bow compartment is separated from unsealed cargo compartment by rigid partition. X-shaped empennage in form of stabilizers with rudders is located in tail part of airship with two keels on each housing. Heavy stage of carrier rocket is attached to power deck by means of three lodgements, two extreme lodgements are attached to power deck by means of attachment points according to three-point scheme, and middle lodgement is fixed in two points. Power plant consists of rotary turbofan engines. In the lower part of each of the housings there is a pneumatic cushion-shock absorber, which reduces the load during landing.
EFFECT: invention is aimed at reduction of fuel consumption for transportation and reduction of vehicle development costs.
