The Eskişehir sub-scale demonstrator

A different way to experience the sky.

We’re developing Wanderer, a passenger airship for scenic journeys over Cappadocia.

In development. The full-size aircraft is not yet built or certified.

Let the landscape set the pace.

Some places deserve your attention. We imagine a journey with room to look, time to notice, and a view that stays with you long after you land.

A cabin around the view

Generous windows and a shared experience are at the heart of the passenger concept.

A considered pace

Scenic journeys of around an hour are our starting point, with the mission shaped alongside future operators.

Cappadocia first

A remarkable landscape and an established sightseeing market give us a specific place to begin.

An idea with a history of hands-on work.

Wanderer grows from years of small-airship development. The work ahead connects that experience to a passenger aircraft, one question, one test and one practical decision at a time.

The team reports more than 80 small airships built, 20 flown and a hangar endurance test lasting over 365 days. Historical test records remain to be assembled; these figures describe sub-scale heritage.

Real field recordings

Drawing and layout study
A visual concept developed from 2019 references. It is not a production drawing or a validated flight design.

Flight dynamics, maintenance and certification, and hands-on airship building: the experience our three founders bring.
Wanderer R3 concept with a pearl-grey envelope, smoked cabin glazing and graphite tail.
From the original drawing Wanderer’s familiar silhouette began with the 2019 drawing. This pearl-grey concept explores its next visual expression; the full-size aircraft remains in development.

Short recordings. Real work.

Time in the field with small airships. Two recordings shared by the team show tangible parts of that journey.

Both recordings show ground-tethered sub-scale demonstrators. Capture dates and locations have yet to be confirmed.

Held by helium. Driven by electric motors.

Our hybrid-electric approach combines helium lift, electric propulsors, a generator and a battery. Separating noise-producing equipment from the cabin is a design priority. Performance and cabin sound will be established through engineering and testing.

Inside the engineering

Help us understand Cappadocia.

If you operate balloons, tours or a hotel, we would like to understand what a passenger airship could mean for your guests and your business.

  • The experience guests want and the price they expect
  • Site access, ground handling and wind conditions
  • A useful pilot scope and its acceptance criteria

A flight worth building together.

We’re bringing the aircraft concept, the operating plan and the customer experience into the same conversation. The next stage is about a demonstrator, supplier evidence and a practical route through certification.
