IAAPA Attractions Expo 2011 begins its second year back at the Orange County Convention Centre in Orlando between the 15th and 18th November 2011.

What better place to be at to show off LTL’s world-class products, particularly the HiFlyer and SkyFlyer. There will also be the opportunity to see first hand a demonstrator air cell building which is an integral part of the company’s exhibition.

Please drop in if you are in the area. We look forward to another successful IAAPA Expo.

A busy winter of installations lies ahead for Lindstrand Technologies as several installations are scheduled for November/ December and then into the New Year.

Following on from the successful ‘football’ replica HiFlyers in Johannesburg and Soweto earlier this year, LTL will be installing a 3rd balloon in the vicinity of Johannesburg– this time in Sandton. The shipment will leave the UK late October/ early November and is due to be up and running for an official FIFA visit in late November.

Further around the globe, an installation will take place later in December at the Greenery Resort, Khao Yai in Thailand.

Located 200 kms northeast of Bangkok, in the province of Nakorn Rachasima is Khao Yai and its iconic attraction – The Khao Yai National Park. Spreading over 2,168 km 2, it is one of the largest parks in Thailand.

Designated as a UNESCO Heritage Site, the Khao Yai National Park encompasses several majestic mountains, spectacular waterfalls, and rich evergreen forests and grasslands. With the height of the mountains, the abundance foliage and the cool weather, the Park is home to almost 2,500 plant species, 67 different kinds of mammals and over 300 species of birds. Rich wildlife is also found there, including many endangered mammals such as elephants, gibbons, tigers, leopards and Malaysian sun bears. Guests at Greenery Resort can also indulge in visits to a winery during their stay.

This will be Lindstrand’s first HiFlyer installation in Thailand.

LTL has been subcontracted for the design and production of an unmanned helium airship by a major British contractor.

A 22 meter long airship, perfect for deployment into roles such as communications relay stations, will be updated and adapted to carry payloads, such as high tech surveillance equipment at up to 150 kilograms in weight, to heights of more than 6,500 feet. The client plans to integrate their existing Unmanned Autonomous Systems into the GA-22 making the technology more accessible to potential users.

“Strategically, GA-22 fits perfectly into the autonomous fleet that we are developing“said the client’s spokesperson. “The new vehicle has the possibility of opening up a range of markets for the compnay. It has a range of unique capabilities and we have identified a number of roles at major events, from sporting occasions to floods and forest fires, for which GA-22 is ideal”.

The client’s designers and engineers have worked with Lindstrand Technologies to update the original design. GA-22 will be able to carry high-tech surveillance equipment, including a payload of up to 150 kilograms, to heights of more than 6,500ft. In addition, it is being made from a newer and lighter material, which improves the airship’s performance. At the moment GA-22 is radio controlled, but the plan is to make it fully autonomous.
