TRANSFORMED FLYING EXPERIENCE
• Why does everyone like the idea of flying but hate scheduled flights? Because jet aircraft are boring, uncomfortable (unless you pay an extra $1000 for leg-room) and there is nothing to see except clouds. Your feet swell, and by the time you arrive at your destination you feel like you just walked all the way. Aeroplanes are extraordinarily good machines if you have to be in New York for a business meeting in a short time time but is it leisure?
• Imagine a flight at only 1500 feet, where passengers are not confined to their seats, and are able to appreciate the extraordinary views. They have access to restaurant accommodation, bar areas and recreation facilities. The cabin is not pressurised. In short, people can really begin to enjoy flying again.
• Yet RAD will provide these luxury leisure vehicles at a cost (including through life costs) that bears no resemblance to standard aviation pricing. The simplicity of our technology gives extraordinary aircraft availability. Our fuel usage, noise output and emissions are very low. And vertical take-off gives us access to low-cost green field sites. Passengers do not have to queue in traffic jams to get to busy hub airports (and operators do not have to pay hub prices).
• If your business is scheduled or unscheduled transport of passengers or above all if your business is about leisure, the Rigid Airship affords extraordinary opportunities. Together we can create the first aerial tourism market for mass exploitation.
