KUZGUN AIRSHIPS
Airships : 1 week, 1 month or 1 year flight time without refueling.
The hourly flight cost of Airships is around US$ 1,000.
The hourly flight costs of fixed and rotary wing aircrafts are around US$ 10,000 - 20,000.
We’ve completed 2 prototypes of our Airship concepts (KUZGUN_1 Unmanned Airship & KUZGUN_A1 Tethered Airship).

AIRSHIPS
“An airship is a buoyant lighter-than-air aircraft that can be steered and propelled through the air. The airship, unlike the airplane, leads to great savings in fuel consumption.”
USAGE AREAS
1) ISR (border security, environment control, city security, natural disasters, pipelines security …)
2) Swarming Attack Drones & Reusing Them
3) Entertainment (flying yacht or flying hotel)
4) Stratospheric Airship project. Do we need satellites anymore?
5) Doomsday Airship
6) Climate change observation
7) …
WHO WE ARE
# We are a group of engineers/entrepreneurs from Turkey.
# We believe that Lighter Than Air (LTA) vehicles will be one of the future air vehicles.
# An LTA vehicle is a buoyant lighter-than-air aircraft that can be steered and propelled through the air with great saving in fuel consumption.
# We’d like to add thin flexible solar cells and LiPo batteries together with a wing to the structure, to increase lifting capacity for our project. Also, implement advanced control and artificial intelligence techniques to decrease the power consumption and increase flight time.
# So we name it “AEUAV_XXX” from now on.
WHAT WE'VE DONE UP TO NOW
# Our company (KUZGUN Ltd.) was founded in 2007 and closed in 2015 (micro start-up company). We are on the edge to establish a new one (KUZGUN Aerospace Inc).
# We’ve completed 2 prototypes of Lighter Than Air vehicle concepts: KUZGUN_1 Unmanned Airship & KUZGUN_A1 Tethered Airship.
# Specifications of KUZGUN_1 Unmanned Airship: All Electrical (LiPo batteries), Rigid type, Composite Structure, Modular.
# Patent application has completed and patent was granted:
"A MODULAR UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE _ TR 2011 03453 B”
Projects and Phases
We continue our Airship projects as an entrepreneur even though the company was closed. We have a series of Airship concepts with different dimensions.
PHASE 1 : Proof of concept period . This period has been completed with the test flights and the patent was granted.
PHASE 2: Design and production periods of the products KUZGUN_AEUAV Unmanned Airship and KUZGUN_AEUAVT Tethered Airship (Endurance : 7 -14 days). (We have a series of Airship concepts with different dimensions).
PHASE 3: Design and production periods of Airships for touristic purposes (flying hotel or blue voyage in the sky).
PHASE 4: Design and production periods of Airships for swarming of UAVs.
PHASE 5: Design and production periods of Airships with higher altitudes. I mean Airships which will operate for reconnaissance _surveillance purposes in the Stratosphere.
PHASE 6: Doomsday Airship
