STRATXX Airship Successfully Broadcasts Digital TV Radio Over 100km of Land for 23 days.
Stratxx Holding AG has recently announced that it has launched a new tethered Airship: the “X-Tower”. The airship is designed to carry telecommunications and broadcast payloads.
The team recently carried out a successful longevity test on its unique X-Tower communications airship platform. The Airship successfully flew for the scheduled 23 Days while only using 20 watts of power. The airship broadcasted 12 digital television and two FM radio channels for the entire 23 day flight.
The airship is comprised of several new technologies along with a state of the art aerodynamic design that allows the X-Tower to withstand high wind speeds without being damaged. At a height of 1000m from ground level, the platform withstood airspeeds exceeding 65 mph in the most recent launch.
The X-Tower is comprised of a patented high tech material that is extremely lightweight. The material is durable to the point that it is bullet proof and it retains helium 70% better than conventional materials available on the market today. Stratxx holds several material as well as design patents and they produce almost everything in house. The Material is a certified Level III Anti-ballistic material and will be certified Level IV this year. In house tests have proven that STRATXX material can stop a 5.56x45mm NATO Full Metal Jacket ammunition and a 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition fired from a H&K G3 travelling at 3500 ft/s with a muzzle velocity of 2500 ft lbf.
