ABSTRACT:
A suspended utility space designed as a captive balloon comprises a carrier balloon which is filled with lifting gas and into which an accessible inner space is incorporated. The carrier balloon is a vertically oriented ellipsoid. The accessible inner space is arranged in the lower part of the carrier balloon. The vertical orientation of the ellipsoidal carrier balloon and the arrangement of the inner space in the lower part of the carrier balloon result in a suspension behavior which is stable under calm conditions. The suspended utility space according to the invention has a larger advertising area visible from the ground and a more effectively utilizable inner space than a spherical airship of comparable size.
