Airship Industries

Airship Industries is a company that plans autonomous airships for freight. Its site says the airships will move freight more quickly, cleanly and cheaply than before. The company's headquarters is in Los Angeles, California, at 1245 Factory Place.

The company says its airships use uncongested skyways and autonomous systems. It says this could cut costs by up to 50 percent and reduce emissions by 75 percent. It also says the airships can bypass congested ports and deliver directly to customer sites.

The site describes a sky crane system. A winch and stabilizing cables let the airship drop cargo onto pickup and delivery points. Bow thrusters help with small position changes in windy conditions. The company says this allows cargo transfers without runways or large port facilities.

The FAQ says the freight airship market was too small for dedicated development until the 1990s. It says early airships had limits in technology, infrastructure and safety. The company says new materials offer two to eight times better strength to weight ratios than the large rigid airships of the 1930s.

The site has pages for the team, the newsroom, careers, suppliers and FAQs. It also has a newsletter form for service launches and industry partnerships. Social accounts are listed on Instagram and X.
