PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS
Rigid Airship USA intends to construct and have certified classic rigid
airships, initially 180 meters in length. The Company will then commence its
business of manufacturing, operating, and marketing Rigid Airships. Designed to
operate in altitudes below 12,000 feet, which are nearly free of commercial air
traffic, the first Rigid Airships will convey 100-200 passengers. Cruising at
approximately 75 miles per hour, the Rigid Airship will employ six engines to
power large, slowly-turning propellers, producing only a small fraction of the
noise level common to conventional commercial aircraft. Rigid Airships will have
exceptional range, and be capable of staying aloft for periods exceeding two
weeks.
Distinctly different from pressurized airships known as blimps, the
Rigid Airship's rigid structure provides hull space for the comforts associated
with ocean cruise ships. Employing some of the technology and design of the
famous Zeppelins which began the world's first airline in 1919, the Rigid
Airship will exploit modern improvements in engines, fabrics, electronics,
aluminum, modern day radar, and avionics. Employing fire retardant helium as a
lifting gas, the Rigid Airship will provide spacious, comfortable, hotel-like
amenities to passengers enjoying smooth, quiet cruising. With elegant dining,
lounging, and entertainment centers, the airships provide incomparable panoramic
enjoyment through large viewing windows.
Plans call for construction of airships within the United States that
will fulfill airship certification requirements of the Federal Aviation
Association. Rigid Airship USA intends to construct and operate passenger cruise
airships within the United States, and subject to market demand, may
subsequently design and assemble airships for other applications.
