Huajiao

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Beijing Huajiao Airship Company (Chinese 华 教 飞艇, Huájiào Fēitǐng) is a Chinese airship manufacturer.

The development of airships began in 1994. Two GA-42s (Thunder & Colt or ABC) in England and two American Eros-40 airships were purchased, two of which were used for flight training and two for dismantling and investigation. The key components for the Chinese airships were also bought abroad.

The first helium airship developed in China was named HJ-2000. It was approved for air transport by the Chinese Aviation Administration on December 22, 2004.

By the end of 2004, Huajiao had built airship bases in Shanghai (where Shanghai Airship Advertising Co., Ltd was founded) and Guangzhou . Five more are planned for 2005 u. a. in Beijing.

The two ships are to be used mainly for aerial advertising , aerial photography, surveillance flights and environmental monitoring. The cover can be designed with posters or stickers according to the wishes of the advertiser.

The two-seater gondola with double rudder consists of an aluminum structure and has two motors with three-bladed propellers. The shell can be illuminated from the inside. The tail unit has a "+" configuration.
