Inspired by the majestic inhabitants of the ocean, we created a remote-controlled whale shark — a blimp that glides and “swims” through the air as if in the depths of the sea. Every detail, from its shape to its movement dynamics, is engineered with precision to convey realism and create a fully immersive experience.

Like our dolphin models, the whale shark does not perform sudden tricks or sharp manoeuvres — its power lies in smooth, natural motion. This flight generates an atmosphere of serene grandeur, captivating audiences of all ages.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What’s the difference between an airship and a balloon?

A balloon (or aerostat) is any aircraft that ascends because the gas inside its envelope (such as hot air or helium) is lighter than the surrounding atmosphere. Balloons can be steerable or free-floating.

A radio-controlled airship is always equipped with a propulsion and navigation system, allowing remote control of its movement, direction, and altitude. This makes it far more versatile for applications such as advertising, entertainment, or aerial decoration.

Is an airship a drone?

No, an airship is not a drone. The key difference lies in the principle of flight. Drones generate lift with propellers or engines, while an airship is a lighter-than-air craft that stays aloft using gases such as safe, non-flammable helium. It can be steered and propelled with engines and rudder controls. A radio-controlled airship is simply an airship operated remotely.

Can an airship fly all day?

Yes, an airship can remain aloft over your event for several consecutive days. Short landings are required to recharge batteries, refill helium, and swap pilots.

How much does it cost?

Bring your event to life with our most popular airship models — dolphin, sphere, cube, or heart — for flights up to 4 hours, starting at $4,300. Custom-designed shapes start from $7,500, creating a unique, one-of-a-kind experience.

Can they fly outdoors?

Absolutely! For stable outdoor flights, we typically use larger radio-controlled airships measuring 8–12 meters. Accurate planning requires information about your location and expected weather conditions.

Do I get to keep the airship?

Custom, branded envelopes — designed specifically for you — are delivered without flight hardware and remain with the client after the event.
