Finally our ideas, our work and sweat and tears left the ground and majestically hovered in front of our eyes. For the first time our...

These solar cells are custom made for use in airships. Airships offer unique challenges for solar arrays. The solar cell mounting...

Previous prototypes had high maneuverability at low airspeeds, however because they relied exclusively on vectored thrust, that...

This prototype has a few changes compared to the last build. First, it uses a PVDC gas barrier. Second, it is slightly larger. Finally,...

In our continuing efforts to improve gas retention over the lifespan of the envelope, a new envelope has been constructed using...

This is the newest idefx prototype using the new all polymer envelope. A few other changes from the first prototype include using ducted...

I have been working to improve the gas retention of the idefx prototype. Previously an aluminized gas barrier was used. However it was...

Using lessons learned from the Airship Regatta competition, the idefx prototype is being rebuilt. One change will be to separate the...

During the event in Friedrichshafen there was much more flying than just the race itself. We also flew regularly during the day to...

In scope of the Airship Regatta (German Open F7B) on November 6, 2021 in Friedrichshafen, Mark Summers, our head of special projects,...

Racing competitions are always an excellent means to show and push the boundary of what's possible with a technology and a wonderful...

Here we are introducing our intern, Arkadiusz. Learn about his work at roboloon and why he preferred gaining experiences in our "garage"...

This blimp was created for entry into the Airship Regatta in Friedrichshafen. It is a smaller blimp implementing a DOVe system similar to...

The idefx prototype is being constructed and tested on the edge of the Great Basin Desert. It is high altitude, has large temperature...

While our intern, Max, has helped us progress on building the prototype of oblX at an incredible quality and speed, his time as intern is...

A brief opening of favorable weather conditions appeared over the weekend, so I was able to take the idefx prototype out for a few quick...

We warmly welcome our newest team member, Max Holzer, who is doing his internship at roboloon. Studying aeronautical engineering at the...

We developed LoonTex for use in small blimp drones, where weight savings are important. In this video we compare it with traditional...
