Hybrid air vehicle payload module/cabin

摘要

A payload module or passenger cabin 1 is mounted to the underside of the hull 5 of a hybrid air vehicle (an airship deriving lift from lighter-than-air gas as well as the aerodynamic shape of the airship's hull) and runs contiguous with all or part of the outer lower surfaces or lobes of the hull. It can be configured in one or more deck levels 2, under which and / or into which air cushion or wheeled landing systems 3 can be mounted. The module/cabin may incorporate roll-on/roll-off ramps and may be U-shaped or D-shaped.
