Marshall Business to Build Mobile Mooring Mast for the World's Largest Non-rigid Airship
CT&D of Marshall, VA recently signed a contract to build a mobile mooring mast for an airship being built by defense contractor, MAV6 of Alexandria Virginia.
"The mast will anchor and provide on-site mobility to the 370 foot long airship," commented Jeff Symanski, owner of CT&D. "We are engineering, designing and fabricating the system. A mobile mooring mast of this size has not been built since the 1950s." The airship will be used as an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) platform at a fraction of the cost of fixed wing UAVs like the Predator.
Other services offered by CT&D include welding and repair of: hydraulic cylinders, heavy equipment, asphalt rollers, and more. They also rebuild gear boxes and pumps, and can manufacture custom hoppers and conveyors as well as shafts, gears and bushings.
