5m Outdoor RC Blimp: Ultimate Aerial Platform Adverstising, Surveillance and Projects
Worlwide delivery - to more than 90 countries
Elevate your aerial capabilities with the RC Zeppelin 5m Outdoor RC Blimp, engineered for robust outdoor performance in research, surveillance, and recreational flight. This ready-to-fly (RTF) model delivers exceptional lift, stability, and endurance, making it the top choice for universities, event organizers, and tech enthusiasts seeking reliable lighter-than-air (LTA) technology.
Priced from €9,314, the 5m blimp combines a durable polyurethane envelope with advanced propulsion, ensuring low helium loss and FAA/EASA compliance for safe operations worldwide. Whether testing autopilots, conducting aerial photography, or advertising at events, its versatile design handles payloads up to 1.2kg while resisting winds up to 6m/s.
The heart of the 5m Outdoor RC Blimp is its double-welded polyurethane envelope, crafted from premium 125-micron film sourced from leading USA and UK manufacturers. This material minimizes helium diffusion to just 0.5% per day, far superior to standard latex or mylar alternatives, ensuring extended flight sessions without frequent refills.Unlike cheaper nylon or polyethylene envelopes prone to leaks and UV degradation, polyurethane withstands harsh outdoor conditions—rain, sun, and temperature swings from -10°C to 40°C.
Technical Specifications
- The 5m Outdoor RC Blimp has a 10.4 m³ helium volume in a double-welded polyurethane envelope, providing 1.2 kg net payload capacity
- It measures 5m long with composite fins, ailerons, rudders, and a rail system for center-of-gravity adjustment
- Dual brushless motors deliver up to 40 km/h speed, 100m max height, and 1000m control range on 2.4GHz radio
- Wind resistance reaches 6-7 m/s, with helium permeability at 0.5-1% daily and FAA/EASA compliance
- Empty weight is 8-9 kg (no batteries), packed shipping in a humidity resistant custom wooden container
- Flight time exceeds 60 minutes using 6000-8000 mAh LiPo batteries (in combination of active flying and innactive "floating")
Applications and Real-World Performance
Research and Education: Universities use it for aerodynamics studies, wind tunnel validation, and autopilot prototyping—its stable platform outperforms multirotors in endurance.Aerial Surveillance: Deploy for perimeter monitoring, crowd oversight, or wildlife tracking; low cost per flight hour beats fixed-wing drones. Advertising and Events: Custom-printed envelopes hover silently over festivals, drawing crowds with branded visuals—more engaging than banners or drones. Maintenance and Safety Features:Minimal upkeep: Envelope inspections, pre-flight and systems motor checks. Safety includes burst-proof envelope, propeller guards, RC safety valve, RC safety reel and all controls double (where possible).

Aero Drum LTD Company Origins
Founded by Aero Drum Ltd, RC-Zeppelin.com began serial production of RC blimps in 1999, drawing on decades of lighter-than-air expertise to create the smallest ready-to-fly models like the 1.5m indoor RC blimp. From humble beginnings in Europe, the site evolved into a global hub for hobbyists, advertisers, and professionals seeking helium-filled zeppelins under 12m, filling a niche left by larger rigid airships of the early 20th century. By 2026, it powers sales through rcblimpsforsale.com, honoring Zeppelin heritage while innovating for modern RC flying.
