High lift at low cost.
Helikites are the world’s first aerodynamic, lighter-than-air aircraft. A unique combination of kite and balloon, they utilise the endless free energy of wind and gravity.
Its unique, patented design combines a high-altitude, tethered balloon with a kite, pushed up by both helium and wind.
The result: stable, permanent flight and the ability to lift a wide variety of payloads.
Robust design meets unparalleled strength with our military-grade materials. Built to endure the toughest conditions, our products are engineered for durability and reliability. Trust in a design that stands the test of time.
Proven worldwide in all weathers and environmental conditions.
Allsopp Helikites Ltd has 30 years of experience manufacturing Helikite aerostats for world-leading organisations.

Benefits of Helikite Aerostats
Helikite aerostats are a patented combination of a high altitude helium balloon and kite. Helikite aerostat balloons overcome the shortfalls of normal tethered balloons, UAVs, blimps, aerostats and kites. Helikite aerostats use less helium per kilogram of list than other aerostats. Helikites are more stable, lift heavier payloads and cost less to purchase and operate than other aerostats.
​
​
​
​
​
High winds that send other aerostats crashing to the ground actually push Helikites higher into the sky. Helikites are the world’s only successful kite-balloon hybrid aerostat. They are very tough and survive extreme weather and military trials that literally tear other aerostats to shreds.
​
​
​
​
​
The unique design means that even small Helikites can fly to thousands of feet without the need for a ballonet or constant electrical power. Helikites mean that aerostats are no longer just fair-weather aircraft. With them, helium costs are low in comparison to other aerostats with the same payloads.
Other balloon and blimp aerostats may fly in good weather and clean air. However, when you absolutely must have a reliable aerostat to operate in all conditions, there is only one choice: the unique, unmatched Helikite.
