Good news everyone I have found a customer. He represents a Russian firm,
that wants an airship with a payload of 1-2 tons for logging purposes, the
payload seems very small for logging means, but he is the customer so he is
right. I have recommended Zeppelin-NT and Cargolifter, but as you can tell he
doesn't like them. I also told him about a Russian airship firm, but he
doesn't like the fact that they had no money and no track record of airship
building, he thinks some of them have their heads in the clouds. He wants a
simple cheap airship that is ready as soon as possible, he doesn't want to
throw money at R&D or start everything from scratch. I think we (Helios) can
distribute this guy an airship, anyone out there ready with an airship for him
to lease or anyone with plans to build one. 1-2 tons payload is pretty easy
right guys. He wants to operate around Siberia harvesting trees, so I think
all the fancy solar cells and stuff is "Overkill", but I am not the engineer.
So everyone lets start moving to our goal, give me some specs or figures that
I can pass onto the guy, what would we make for an offer? Do we still have a
webpage?
Sincerely,
Don
