AEREON III (original) (raw)
The AEREON III was an experimental hybrid airship of rigid construction built by the AEREON Corporation in the early 1960s. Of unconventional design, the airship featured three gas envelopes attached side-by-side, with the connecting structures shaped as airfoils to create extra lift as the craft moved forward. Intended as a small prototype craft that would precede the development of much larger hybrid airships, the AEREON III was constructed between 1959 and 1965 but was destroyed during taxiing tests in 1966 and scrapped without having flown. It was "the first rigid airship to be built since Graf Zeppelin II".

C'est le premier dirigeable rigide construit dans le monde depuis les zeppelins des années 1930. Réalisé sur un programme de l’US Navy, cet engin de forme inhabituelle se composait de trois enveloppes de gaz placées parallèlement et reliées par des structures à profil porteur. Un modèle à échelle réduite fut réalisé et effectua de longs essais au sol, mais fut démoli en 1967 sans que le programme aboutisse à des essais en vol. (fr) L'AEREON III era un prototipo di dirigibile rigido sviluppato dalla statunitense tra il 1959 ed il 1965. Uno dei primi esempi di dirigibile ibrido presentava tre scafi sigariformi, analoghi a quelli di uno zeppelin, connessi tra loro longitudinalmente. L'Aereon Corporation era stata fondata dal reverendo Monroe Drew proprio nel 1959 per lo sviluppo del dirigibile Il nome derivava dal di , mongolfiera/dirigibile privo di motore, costituita da tre palloni sigariformi affiancati. Sebbene fosse a tutti gli effetti una mongolfiera priva di motore, l'aeronave di Andrews era controllabile grazie alla possibilità di rilasciare gas in maniera differenziata dai tre palloni sigariformi e controllando l'assetto spostando (o gettando fuoribordo) zavorra dalla cesta con l'equipaggio.
