A lightweight and safe dolphin-shaped airship that moves freely through the air, following elegant trajectories and instantly capturing the audience’s attention. It is fully radio-controlled and can hover indoors or outdoors for up to 8 hours without recharging.

Advantages

Safety

The airship is almost weightless and can fly safely directly above people.

No Permits Needed

No special aviation approvals are required, simplifying show organization.

Autonomy

Flights last up to 8–9 hours without recharging, perfect for long programs and continuous presence in the air.

Versatility

Works effectively both indoors and outdoors — shopping centres, concert halls, arenas, city squares.

Visual Impact

Equipped with fins and a movable tail that mimic realistic movements, enhancing the emotional effect of a “living” dolphin.

Custom Design

Branding or unique visual designs tailored to your event are available.

Why Dronico?

We don’t just launch figures into the air — we create a “wow effect” and guide the audience’s attention. Our dolphin is the result of engineering creativity and hundreds of hours of testing, designed to amaze both children and adults from the very first appearance in the air.

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.
