Why an airship

Quiet and slow

Cruise at 50 km/h with electric motors. Panoramic windows. No rotor noise over the valleys.

Hours, not minutes

Eight hours of endurance on a small fuel load. A full day of flights on one fill.

Helium lift

Non-flammable helium carries the ship; the motors only steer and push. Static heaviness under 2%.

Built to certify

Designed to the gas-airship class of Türkiye's SHT-21 rules, aligned with EASA Part 21, using the published SC-GAS basis.

A decade of flight testing

Our chief engineer has built more than 80 sub-scale airships since 2012 and flown around 40 of them. A full-size prototype envelope has been built and inflated in the team hangar. This is where the design numbers come from.

Where we are

Wanderer hybrid-electric v1 is a conceptual design completed in September 2026. It is pre-certification and pre-production. We are preparing the certification pre-application with the Turkish civil aviation authority (SHGM) and raising a pre-seed round.
