NEW TECHNOLOGIES
OUR FLEET
Creating new technologies... to save more lives!
As is well predicted, disasters will increase in ferocity and frequency. In response Wings CRS is fully
committed to making improvements in catastrophe response as new technologies emerge or as our own
Research & Development department create new technologies.
Four years after Wings CRS launches its operations, we expect delivery of our first Skyliner
hybrid airships into our fleet, as our partnership with Skybrid Airships UK achieves its air inter-
national worthiness certifications.
The Skyliner can operate from any surface including water, marsh, ice and snow, independent
of using paved runways and without the need for ground crews. And with a solar powered elec-
tric hybrid engine the Skyliner could stay aloft indefinitely.
A helicopter landing pad located on the roof of the Skyliner extends the capabilities of this
airship to provide en-route transfer of crew, refugees and patients. The initial Wings Skyliner
fleet will be comprised of both 100 and 250 ton capacity models and with its various payload
modules these airships can transport dry cargo such as vehicles, food, and equipment. In addi-
tion Wings will deploy a custom hospital module with each response team airship which would
provide the capacity for each response team to provide critical medical and surgical care to
over 500 patients simultaneously.
