ILC Dover developed and produced a 170,000-cu. ft. airship to serve as a test platform for the US Navy, under contract to the American Blimp Corporation. The airship, known as the MZ-3A, operated for more than four years. - The Lightship Group
As part of ILC Dover’s airship development for The Lightship Group, we qualified a translucent multi-layer film laminate envelope for internally illuminated airships, which have been successfully operated on six continents. - Zeppelin
