Russia studied the manufacture of ballast 600 tons

LocomoSky, Russia, said it is investigating the development of the 600 ton "Locomoskaimer" balloon, twice the size of the world's largest aircraft, the Antonov An-225 Mriya. to become a Buran spacecraft.

Experts say that this heavy balloon will receive the applause of the Russian Ministry of Industry.

This is also one of the solutions in the process of economic development of unexploited traffic places, reducing transportation costs and building up to places that mainly contain many natural resources of oil and gas.

The shape of the balloon Locomoskaimer.

In particular, the new balloon would resemble a shuttlecock, often appearing in science fiction films.

Sergey Morozov, governor of Ulyanovsk, said that the project will be manufactured in the Zavolzhye industrial park.

The price of the Locomoskaimer balloon cost $ 120 million, roughly equivalent to the price of the Ruslan An-124-100, but its cargo capacity is four times the An-124-100.

In addition, Locomoskaimer does not require the use of subterranean infrastructure, which can carry goods anywhere.

Future application of Locomoskyner balloon:

- Locomoskaimer airplanes can be used for aviation geophysical surveys, load up to 1,000kg. Controlled by 2 to 8 people. Taking advantage of the Locomoskyner ballistic survey of aviation geophysics can yield more accurate results, at the same time costing only half or one-quarter of what it was before.

Locomoskaimer airplanes will be available in 40, 60, 120, 240 and 600 tonne categories, which can transport large quantities of cargo to distant and unoccupied locations. It can land without the support of other devices.

In addition to carrying large cargo, the Locomoskaimer balloon can convert passenger transport, which can transport 270-11,000 people each time, including the evacuation of people in distress.

Balloons of 0.5-1.5 tonnes can be used for monitoring and control. This type of balloon is controlled by a person who can patrol the roads.

It can use scanning equipment to conduct targeted surveillance such as power grid, natural gas product pipeline, petroleum ... industrial zones and special purposes ...
