An aircraft comprising an envelope (6) that is inflatable with a lifting gas that is lighter than air that, at least when inflated has curved upper and lower surfaces. The aircraft has a payload carrying means (5), and an aerodynamic lifting means (8) for creating a vertical annular flow of air that induces a flow of air over the respective upper or lower surface (12, 14) of the envelope (6.). One form of aerodynamic generator (8) comprises a plurality of aerofoil blades (20) mounted for rotation around a periphery of the envelope (6).
L~invention a trait à un aéronef comportant une enveloppe (6) gonflable avec un gaz de sustentation plus léger que l~air, laquelle enveloppe présente, au moins lorsqu~elle est gonflée, des surfaces supérieure et inférieure courbes. Cet aéronef possède des moyens porte-charge utile (5), et un moyen de sustentation aérodynamique (8) destiné à créer un flux annulaire vertical d~air produisant un écoulement d~air sur les surfaces respectives supérieure ou inférieure (12,14) de l~enveloppe (6). Une forme de générateur aérodynamique (8) comprend une pluralité d~aubes profilées (20) aptes à tourner à la périphérie de l~enveloppe (6).
