I will probably run around during the presentation, so if you cannot hear me, just give me a note

and I will be louder or take the microphone.

I think it's fine for the moment.

So I'm really happy to talk here.

It's the first time that we actually present our company as a really funded company and

to give a bit of background.

We are doing this as a Windrider project since like 15 years.

So basically as small students we started to get interested in airships, airship technology,

especially rigid airships and we built many, many models and joined airship races.

We had lots of fun in this time and we learned a lot.

And it was so much stuff that we learned that actually people approached us, can we buy

stuff from you?

And we were like, it's just a hobby thing.

Yes, you can have it for 20 euro.

What, 20 euro?

And it turned out we have to fund the company because otherwise we could not hide this money

from the taxes.

And this somehow makes us towards a supplier of key components for airship constructions.

Since we come from the small scale, we are a supplier for like really small envelopes,

balloons and whatever fins, development stuff.

But since our technique works pretty well, we are getting larger and larger.

And it's quite interesting what is going to happen in the next years and already happened.

That means we are not only a supplier but we are also like a think tank.

So people approach us, do you think we can make this?

And they say, no, better go this way.

And this is a mixture of fun but we also try to get airships in the air, like prevent people

from doing mistakes that are not stupid but somehow mandatory if you are not experienced.

And we crashed so many blimps that we basically made all possible mistakes that you won't

have to do it.

We have many customers in research.

Some of them also start to be in industry and lots in the private sectors like hobbyists,

fun pilots, airship races.

And in the meantime, Windreichsta airships are sailing really across all continents.

The main things we do is ultra light envelopes of any given size.

I will show some examples later.

We also do customized structural components.

If you need a lightweight fin or specific motor gondolas, we do that.

Electronical setups, we can define power management, cable thickness, cable length.

We can make it happen that the motor in the end really gets the power it needs even though

it has 20 meters of cables.

Then we work on autopilot setups and developments on standard PIXHawk things but also we are

developing new stuff, especially for indoor use because there is not too much on the market.

And we do whole custom airship designs aimed towards special missions.

It's not like that we have standard products.

It's that we get questions and specific mission targets and then we try to develop something

for that.

Today I want to make a bit of an outlook on how current technology impacts airship developments

compared to 80 years ago.

I will use this as a template for stuff that we do, stuff that others did, and how the

technology is advancing.
