New Russian airship for Arctic research

Russian engineers have designed an innovative dirigible for the exploration of the Arctic.

Thanks to unique know-how, its pressure on ice during landing will be extremely weak, thus enabling it to deliver people and cargo even to half-melted ice floes.

The Atlant-30 airship is much more maneuverable than the existing analogues and is capable of vertical landing and takeoff. Its hull is made of ultra strong weather-resistant materials.

The first Atlant-30s will be in service in three years.
