Project Overview
Description
Itty Bitty Blimpy is a helium-based, indoor, surveillance and communications blimp with a simple design. It is made using three pieces of double-sealed Mylar sheets sealed together with contact adhesive, and has a double-propeller configuration that controls throttle, pitching and yawing with servo motors. In addition, the wireless camera allows for distanced piloting even when the balloon is out of sight.
Vision
We want to build a multi-purpose indoors surveillance blimp that is quiet, fast and highly maneuverable. Our blimp would present an alternative to drones when planning indoors surveillance flights.
