Features
Full container crane operations
The large payload capacities of AV-10 and more powerful engines allow them to carry and operate full containers for use in remote or difficult-to-access locations. This improves the efficiency and speed of container shipping operations, as AV-10 would be able to move quickly and easily between different locations without infrastructure.
Single pallet crane operations
The deployment of single pallets with a crane allows for operating more quickly and accurately without infrastructure, giving AV-10 a logistic advantage in remote locations.
ALS – Automatic Landing System
The use of an automatic landing system in the AV10 potentially improves the safety and efficiency of airship operations, eliminating the ground crew and providing a level of automation and control in landing and take-off operations
Green Transport Solution
The use of hybrid engines and diesel engines with biofuel on AV10 reduces the carbon footprint of the airship compared to traditional planes powered by internal combustion engines. Hybrid engines, which combine an electric motor with a traditional internal combustion engine, are more efficient and produce fewer emissions than traditional engines. Biofuels, such as biodiesel, are also cleaner and more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels, as they are made from renewable sources.
The use of hybrid engines and biofuels on the AV10 would have a number of benefits for the environment. Hybrid engines produce fewer emissions of pollutants such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter, which contribute to air pollution and climate change. Biofuels also produce fewer emissions than fossil fuels, and their production typically generates fewer greenhouse gases.
This makes the AV10 an appealing alternative to traditional aircraft for passenger and cargo transportation, particularly in environmentally sensitive areas such as national parks or wildlife preserves.
Overall, the use of hybrid engines and biofuels on the AV10 would be a significant step forward in reducing the airship’s carbon footprint. This would make the AV10 a more environmentally friendly option for passenger and cargo transportation, leading the way to a fully green transport solution.
