Stratospheric Airship's Analysis of Application Prospects and Exploration of Critical Technologies

Abstract

Along with the rapid development of correlative technology in the 21st century comes the upsurge of research and exploitation for stratospheric airship around the world. In this paper, on the basis of the unique strengths of stratospheric airship, we analysed its prospects of application in the fields of communication and earth observation. Besides, we explored the status quo of development and key techniques concerning the stratospheric airship, which lead a significant role in the reference and guidance for future development of advanced information technology and building of national defence.
