摘要: A super-pressured high-altitude airship flies in the stratosphere, is propelled against wind by power obtained through photovoltaic conversion of sunlight, and used for a large-scale LTA (light-than-air) platform environmental observation, telecommunication relay, etc. This has super-pressure structure which pressure-resistant gas bag an envelope capable enduring rise internal pressure allowing no in-flow or out-flow from to, respectively, outside atmosphere at mission altitude. solar cell installed on upper external surface envelope. ventilation space provided between installation to block heat transfer buoyant fan forcibly circulate atmospheric air this space. The trims static balance pitch angle shifting on-board weight longitudinal direction.
