Nowadays, the design and the production of airships is mainly located in Rosh Ha’Ayin.Īs a matter of fact, Atlas has 3 lines of products. In the end of 1990’s, he had established in Russia company named RosAeroSystems, and today’s Atlas is based on his technologies and intellectual property. At the end of 1980’s he took part in the establishment and management of Worldwide Aeros company in Ukraine and later in California, which produces airships for military and commercial market, and still exists nowadays. Verba has been designing and producing airships and aerostats for over 30 years. “Our airships will offer much chipper prices for ton per Kilometer with comparison to many other means of transportation.” Airship production in IsraelĪtlas was established in 2016 by Gennadiy Verba, Russian Business Entrepreneur and Engineer with Jewish roots, who divides his time between Israel and Russia. And since they are using hybrid engine, the carbon emission caused by airships is significantly less than that of an airplanes. The enormous size of the ship allows it to move large cargo, such as wind turbines, as one peace. That way it is possible to carry cargo from starting point straight to the destination, without intermediate stops. The airship is a good alternative to land transportation by tracks, which can be very dangerous at wintertime in countries like Russia or Canada”.Ītlas’s cargo airships can take off vertically (VTOL), just like a helicopter or drone, without any necessity of ground facilities or landing pad. “Those devices are designed to operate in the most difficult weather conditions. Yaron Bul, one of the owners and the man in charge of the business development in Atlas, explained in a conversation with TechTime that the airships developed by Atlas has many advantages with comparison to cargo airplanes and land transportation by tracks. Alternative to cargo airplanes and tracks According to Atlas’s estimation, if this development program will come to fruition, those two customers alone will use 20 airships from the ATLANT family. Another LOI has been signed with a big turbines’ manufacturer, that intended to use airships for trafficking turbine blades. The company had already signed LOI with UN World Food Programme (WFP) on development of airship, which will be used for food supplying to remote destinations all over the world. The other two models are ATLANT 30 and ATLANT 100, they are smaller in their dimensions and can carry 18 tons and 60 tones accordingly, at the same speed and to the same distance.
It will be able to carry 165 tones of cargo to 2,000 KM at a speed of 120 KM/h at all weather conditions, including harsh ones. The biggest model, ATLANT 300, would be huge: 200 meters long, 100 meters wide, and 50 meters high. The company is planning to develop three models that will be different in sizes and cargo capacity.
The israeli Atlas from Rosh Ha’Ayin is looking for investors for the development of unmanned, hybrid airship project, which will be able to transfer overweight cargoes to long distances. UN World Food Programme (WFP) and a wind turbines manufacturer had already confirmed interest in the airship
Atlas to develop massive airship to transport heavy cargoĪTLANT 300 will carry up to 160 tones for 2,000 KM.
