December 7th, 2019Submarine Work
December 7th, 2019When I designed our sub I wanted no thru-hull connections. Wireless controls & completely separate internal/external power. Reality is here & one window has been replaced by a plate for connections. Today we pulled it to add yet another one. Ironman was helping.
Sub Soldering!
November 29th, 2019When prototyping I tend to make cables extra long. It’s great when you’re always moving stuff. Now that we’re getting the submarine ready for first dive the wiring has gotten out of hand. We’re going through shortening about 60 cables. Smile, it’s soldering week !
Ascender Ellipse in the Launch Arena
November 27th, 2019The Ascender Ellipse is one of our smallest airships. The new launch arena was sized so Ellipse can be worked on and launched protected from the wind. #jpaerospace

Ascender Ellipse
October 16th, 2019Next on Deck: Ascender Ellipse. This is the first Ascender airship with an elliptical cross section & an all air beam internal structure. It’s just a little one, 26 ft long. It’s for low altitude structural tests. The Ellipse is 70% complete. We hope to fly before years end.
