Aerostats
Overpressure in all air and gas volumes of the envelope, ballonet,
houser and empennage in all operating modes of the TA (during
hauling,stayingataworkingaltitudeandonthemooringaerostatic
platform) is automatically maintained by means of valves and
onboard fans. During ground mooring at the mooring platform a
ground fan may be connected. Gas filling and refilling is executed
throughfillingvalves.
The empennage of the aerostat consists of three similar fins: the
upperverticalfinandtwolowerfins,eachatanangleof56witha
vertical axis of the aerostat. The fins are under constant
overpressure,whichprovidestheirabilitytotakeuploadswithinthe
