Skyships Ltd, based near Stansted, specialises in sophisticated unmanned lighter-than-air airships and exhibition icons.

A varied selection of flying products are available from small standard design external remote controlled airships for advertising or camera platform work, to highly sophisticated computer controlled bespoke designs such as the X-plorites as flown in the Millennium Dome, London during 2000.

Static products include air filled icons for exhibition purposes as provided for the 2000 Expo in Hanover, Germany, the Odyssey in Belfast and the 12m Globe for the Millennium Dome, London.

Additional developments include a stabilised camera platform for remote controlled airships, tethered aerostats, and unmanned helicopters.

Currently under development are innovative applications of unmanned airships and helicopters in low-level aerial surveying of dangerous structures and land such as minefields.
