I don't understand why it would catch fire and explode without any reason... Plus H2, if not pressurized does not explode is burns quickly upwards. Somebody who experimented this explained it in the comments.
We have the same incentive but not at the same level. Our aircraft consumes very little energy so it adds much less costs to stay in the air longer to collect more data.
Thanks for the insight.
For now we have no data/ML team. Our clients know this and for now are ok with it or on with getting raw data.
We have a nice runway already but it's definitely something we watch closely.
The EU is one of the strongest market in terms of regulation. Hard regulations, strong authorities. If we success in Europe we should be able to expand everywhere. We already have the support of the French civilian aviation authority!
I'm a little surprised about the raw data. Do the customers just review the footage manually?
What is the limiting factor on your range? The video says a 20 hour mission (how many km is that roughly?). I would have suspected for a blimp that really long missions (days) would be better as it would be less work to land/refill the blimp.
Yeah, we're convinced that H is the way to go for LTAs.
