Wanderer
A sixteen-seat helium airship for scenic flight. Quiet, slow, and able to fly through the day.
Design intentions for the hybrid-electric v1 concept (September 2026).
The cabin and the view
Windows first
The gondola is planned around large panoramic windows on both sides, so every seat has a view of the valleys.
Room to move
Sixteen passengers and two crew in a 12-metre cabin, with space to stand and change sides during the flight.
Slow on purpose
At 50 km/h the ship covers the Cappadocia valleys in about an hour and can hover over a point of interest.
A sense of scale
Status: concept design complete (September 2026). Pre-certification, pre-production. Specifications below will change through detailed design and certification.

Why hybrid-electric
Electric motors give quiet, precise thrust. A small generator gives endurance that batteries alone cannot. The battery is only a buffer, about the size used in the only certified electric aeroplane flying today, which keeps the certification path realistic. The design follows EASA’s special condition for electric and hybrid propulsion.
