), and 21st Century Airships (21st Century), the developers of this technology, successfully flew the next generation four engine SA 60. The airship airship, an aircraft that consists of a cigar-shaped gas bag, or envelope, filled with a lighter-than-air gas to provide lift, a propulsion system, a steering mechanism, and a gondola accommodating passengers, crew, and cargo.  was put through a series of in-flight maneuvers testing the flight characteristics of this unique new system. The companies demonstrated the SA 60 in Toronto, Canada from the 11th of September through the 16th. The SA 60 has already broken the world's high altitude Conventionally, an altitude above 10,000 meters (33,000 feet).

Tests with various developmental communications technologies have shown systems could be quickly installed on the TSI airship line and could be used to provide emergency communications systems that could be deployed to disaster areas.

After testing some of the communications packages the team plans to utilize these technologies on current airships for future deployment, such as the recent Gulf coast disaster. "Cyber, TSI, SNC and 21st Century are excited to demonstrate airship and communications improvements that could be utilized in the future," commented Cyber CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

 systems such as the Tacticomp(TM) recently developed by SNC will allow for immediate audio and visual communications on the SA 60. We believe this system along with some recently developed global communications systems will provide the airship team with a unique system that will save lives as well as provide immediate communications capabilities in disaster situations," said Mike Lawson President of TSI.

According to Jon Burgoyne, SNC's Executive Vice President, "The natural disaster caused by Hurricane Katrina left New Orleans and much of the Gulf Coast region without communications infrastructure to support relief operations.
