Not Just a Propeller: Hybrid Airship Fly-By-Wire Technology and Advanced Propellers

Traditional airships use a cable and pulley system for directional movement, which is finicky at best, and leaves tremendous opportunity for error. When the Skunk Works® team began developing the next generation airship the Hybrid Airship for remote cargo transport nearly 20 years ago, they pulled knowledge from their Lockheed Martin fixed-wing brethren and built digital flight controls, or a fly-by-wire system, into the airships standard systems. An industry first at the time. Learn more about the Hybrid Airship: http://lmt.co/29yhcY9
