Boeing, one of the world’s largest space and defense businesses, and CargoLifter, a manufacturer and researcher of lighter-than-air vehicles, signed a contract to explore options for future stratospheric airship designs.
As a result, Boeing and CargoLifter will expand their range of capabilities and position themselves as airship systems suppliers in the future.
“This is an important new business opportunity for Boeing,” said Charlie Guthrie, director of rapid prototyping and advanced concepts for the Boeing Unmanned Systems organization. “CargoLifter has the capability and expertise for lighter-than-air platform development, and we are excited to work with them. Several governments have research and development activities focused on stratospheric platforms to support communications and surveillance requirements. Airships may be a suitable platform for such applications.”
