A highly maneuverable craft or airship with aerostatic lift which may be manned or operated autonomously and remotely consists, in particular, a sail or similar device for main propulsion; the aerostat or dirigible sustains lift from gasbags containing helium or hydrogen or other similar lighter-than-air gas. Further, said aerostat may be mounted with a wind turbine for electrical power generation and mechanical operation; and, ballast tanks and landing gear to enable amphibious capability.
