Configure a concept blimp, then look inside the custom flight-control board we're designing for it. Everything on this page is an engineering concept. None of it has been built, manufactured or flight-tested yet. Our first indoor prototype comes next.

Golden Gate Blimp Co. GGB-FC1 concept design in progress

We're designing our own flight-control board for slow, buoyant aircraft: 3 thrusters, tail servos, banner lighting and envelope-pressure sensing on one 36 × 36 mm board (30.5 mm mount pattern). This is a layout concept. The board hasn't been manufactured and no specs have been tested.
