The lightest frame that passed all of them was carried forward.Tue, 01 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT5G, satellite and Galileo: how the X-11 stays connectedhttps://www.aerostatix.eu/build-log/space-ops/https://www.aerostatix.eu/build-log/space-ops/Beyond visual line of sight, the airship needs a link that does not depend on towers, and a position it can trust.Tue, 01 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTFour rotating tubes: the vectored-thrust test benchhttps://www.aerostatix.eu/build-log/thrust-bench/https://www.aerostatix.eu/build-log/thrust-bench/Each main motor sits at the end of a carbon tube that rotates to point its thrust forward, up or down.Tue, 01 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTOne controller for four vectoring propellershttps://www.aerostatix.eu/build-log/flight-control/https://www.aerostatix.eu/build-log/flight-control/Our flight control runs on an industry-standard open autopilot, with our own control allocation on top.Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMTFirst carbon lattice frame sectionshttps://www.aerostatix.eu/build-log/first-sections/https://www.aerostatix.eu/build-log/first-sections/The first carbon lattice frame sections are built. Each new iteration is lighter for the same stiffness.Wed, 01 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT
