OceanSky, a startup travel company that specializes in luxury aviation, has developed an airship that aims to offer a sustainable way for adventurers to travel to the North Pole to witness some of the most remote parts of the Arctic.
The startup was founded in 2014 and received funding from Sweden’s Energy Agency and Traffic Administration to develop innovative technology for sustainable transportation.Their vessel is an airship called Airlander 10, which is 98 metres in length and can fly at a maximum altitude of 2,000 metres for up to three days.
Lighter-than-air technology powers the vessel and the company says that the airship’s engines will be electric and release zero emissions by 2030. The current Airlander 10 model uses four combustion engines and releases 75 per cent fewer carbon dioxide emissions compared to other conventional aircraft.
