Eco Factor: Concept airship designed to fly clean on solar energy.
The Aerolabe is a concept airship designed by painter and sculptor Gaspard Schlumberger, who believes that solar energy has the potential to green the airspace dominated by gas-guzzling aircraft. The cigar-shaped airship includes solar panels and wings to make this balloon take to the skies.
The designer estimates that with just over three and a half million euros, the airship can be turned into a reality with the goal of sailing over the Atlantic without polluting the airspace.
