Airships don’t land on legs. 💨 They’d be blown away by the wind quickly.
This is why, so far, we always had to catch our looncraft with two people - one at the nose and one at the tail. This ground crew then had to constantly reposition the looncraft into the wind direction. 🚩
By introducing Mooring Mode, a single person can now catch the looncraft at its nose … and chill 😎 . The tail will freely move with the wind while the system actively controls its altitude.
An important step further towards a fully automated airship operation.🤖
