Agilecast, Inc. – Agilecast is Ohio Airships' leading choice to manage the
entire Dynalifter production effort. Agilecast has successfully
managed many US Military technology projects on behalf of the
Boeing Corporation, and has close ties with many aerospace,
manufacturing, and business contacts.
Conceptual Research Corporation
– CRC, lead by
Dr. Daniel Raymer (formerly Lockheed Martin’s Director of
Advanced Design), has directed all Dynalifter technical
development since Ohio Airships’ conception. His firm has
created a solid Dynalifter engineering foundation, allowing
future engineering subcontractors to seamlessly continue
development. CRC is the leading candidate for creation of
the Master Design.
Composite Engineering, Inc.
– Under direction of Conceptual Research Corporation, Composite
Engineering supplied the first production cost estimation for
Dynalifter Freighters. The final decision has not yet been
made on whether to construct the internal structure with
inexpensive aluminum, or extremely lightweight composites.
If composites are chosen, CEI would be a leading candidate for
structural fabrication.
Worldwide Aeros Corporation –
Aeros is the
world’s leading producer of airships, and has shown an interest
in Dynalifter hull fabrication. Ohio Airships’
relationship with Aeros formed during the DARPA Walrus
competition.
ILC
Dover
– ILC Dover is the world’s leading producer of fabric
helium cells. This company has been associated with most
modern airship programs. ILC Dover would be a natural
choice for production of Dynalifter internal cells and hull
fabric.
Boeing Corporation –
Using
Agilecast’s connections, Ohio Airships met with Boeing
executives in January ’07 to discuss the possibility of doing
business with them. Boeing showed immediate
interest in becoming the lead Integration Unit subcontractor,
and they showed interest “in principal” for complete Dynalifter
production, pending further sales development.
