A subfield of fluid statics, aerostatics is the study of gases that are not in motion with respect to the coordinate system in which they are considered...

Air bearings (also known as aerostatic or aerodynamic bearings) are bearings that use a thin film of pressurized gas to provide a low friction load-bearing...

The French Aerostatic Corps or Company of Aeronauts (French: compagnie d'aérostiers) was the world's first balloon unit, founded in 1794 to use balloons...

protected by an outer envelope. Aerostats are so named because they use aerostatic lift which is a buoyant force that does not require movement through the...

The Lockheed Martin P-791 is an experimental aerostatic and aerodynamic hybrid airship developed by Lockheed Martin. The first flight of the P-791 took...

A reusable launch vehicle has parts that can be recovered and reflown, while carrying payloads from the surface to outer space. Rocket stages are the most...

was the Parseval semi-rigid design. Hybrid airships fly with a positive aerostatic contribution, usually equal to the empty weight of the system, and the...

hybrid airship having a large, gas-filled delta wing which provides both aerostatic and aerodynamic lift, referred to by the manufacturer as a "metaplane"...

Ancient Greek word ἀήρ (āēr). Thus, the prefix appears in aeronautics, aerostatics, aerodynamics, aeronautical engineering and so on, while the second occurs...

the absence of gravity and atmospheric drag, as well as the absence of aerostatic back pressure on the nozzle, and hence the vacuum Isp is used for calculating...

A zero-pressure balloon (ZP) is a style of aerostatic balloon that is unsealed at its base, creating a mechanism by which lifting gas can vent out the...

Release of 1001 blue balloons, Yves Klein's "aerostatic sculpture". Reconstruction carried out in 2007 on Place Georges-Pompidou in Paris, in celebration...

Wayback Machine of the congress: "Will it be possible to improve the aerostatic art, by a better combination of means used until now, in order to leave...

airplanes also require runways. The hybrid airship combines the airship's aerostatic lift, from a lighter-than-air gas such as helium, with the heavier-than-air...
