| Airships Africa (Pty) Ltd represent Ohio Airships Inc. and have negotiated the necessary licenses for the development of the Dynalifter® industry for Southern Africa. North Africa Dynalifter® is already well on the way with over 4 billion US dollars in Dynalifter® Aircraft sales and plans for a Dynalifter® Dry Port network that will develop new Port Cities and enable Africa to “Trade with the World”. Airships Africa will be partnering with governments and entrepreneurs in the Southern Africa region to link up with the North African Network to create new trading opportunities for the people of Africa. #### www.airshipsafrica.com |
| After nearly 80 years of research, design and development plus billions of dollars spent, one of the most memorable and controversial forms of transportation is about to return to commercial use. The Airship is back! With some quite radical technological improvements the modern Airship is more a hybrid HTA (heavier than air) Airplane than a LTA (lighter than air) Airship. The inventors of this breakthrough in aviation technology Robert Rist and Brian Martin of Ohio Airships Inc., have named their 21st century Aircraft the Dynalifter® The latest buzzword in green tech is “hybrid”. Daily we now hear about all sorts of hybrid “green” products from cars to trains, tooth brushes to garbage incinerators and even airplanes as the world wrestles with the inconvenient truth of climate change. The Dynalifter® is all about green tech and ready to lead a new era in aviation history as the world embraces the changes that are essential for mankind’s survival. Survival is all about being creative and finding inspired solutions to life threatening situations. The Dynalifter® is an inspired solution that is going to change the world for millions of people and keep our planet greener than other modes of transport. The life blood of national and international economies is under threat as CO2 emissions have to be reduced to save our planet and the existence of mankind. Government leaders have some difficult choices to make in creating the legislation that is going to achieve Sustainable Development. The South African Government can be applauded for its initiative in setting up the National Strategy for Sustainable Development which will become effective soon to ensure Sustainable Development for South Africa. Current technologies with a high environmental impact such as road and rail are going to come under increasing pressure to become more efficient as new technologies offer alternatives. Efficiencies will be demanded not only from the vehicles but also from the environmental impact that their billion dollar infrastructure requires. The Dynalifter® requires very little infrastructure and a one square kilometer piece of land with a dirt runway will suffice to service the largest Dynalifter® which is 300m long with a wingspan of 163m. The most “TIMELY” emergence of the Dynalifter® is a welcome solution to the world’s environmental predicament and especially for Africa. The Dynalifter’s® ability to transport heavy loads of up to 250 tons, thousands of feet into the air and transport their loads to any destination within a range of 6500 km at a speed of 250 kmph is the most outstanding development in the aviation industry this century. With virtually no need for ground infrastructure the Dynalifter® could lead the dream of the “African Renaissance” into reality as world leaders make the call to stop Aid for Africa but to rather Trade with Africa. The Dynalifter® will enable the world to Trade with Africa in a relatively short space of time compared with the 20th century thinking to build road and rail infrastructure. Just as the cell phone enabled Africa to leapfrog the 20th century thinking of cable networks, the Dynalifter® will enable Africa to leapfrog the enormous, multi billion, environmentally damaging, road and rail infrastructure that used to be necessary to build a nations economy. Using the analogy of how the cell phone has impacted Africa’s ability to communicate the Dynalifter’s® communication capacity is enormous with advertising on the body of the aircraft, the sheer size of the advert will be impressive at about the size of three soccer fields. Everyone on earth will see the advert! |
