The invention concerns a lighter-than-air craft for transporting by air equipment and passengers, more particularly, it concerns an aircraft whereof the frame (1) made of light metal and erected vertically, contains and protects the passenger compartment (4) of the invention, and all the components of the invention which, by a mass-reducing assembly (2-8-9-11-19), uses light gas power for neutralizing the earth's gravitational pull. Electric motors actuating propellers (6-7) with multiple blades and powered by a mini-electric power unit (5) enable to counter the force of mean winds, so to lift the neutralized mass and control the aircraft movements. The aircraft wide external surfaces (11-12) are used as wing system, a sailboat keel being replaced by a gyroscope (10) stabilizing effect and by the thrust of the lateral propellers (6). The invention which concerns a novel, safe, silent and economical form of air travel is designed for limited passenger and goods transport, for tourist sightseeing, exploring, observing and multimedia advertising display.

1. A craft using lighter-than-air gas to transport by air material and passengers, which comprisesa framework enclosing in the upper part of its structure, balloons inflated with a lighter-than-air gas and held by cables hooked to the framework which they grip and pull away from the gravitional force; a cabin with bulletproof windows for the pilot and passengers set on the base of the framework; a mini power station which supplies electricity to the equipments and accessories of the craft; propellents placed inside long tubular passages for concentrated air thrust, used to lift the neutralized mass of the craft and to move it in the air space; a compressor system which injects in the balloons or retrieves from the balloons a calculated quantity of lighter-than-air gas stored in a slightly pressurized tank according to the total mass of the craft to be neutralized or to partially restore; a stabilizer system to eliminate rolls and sways and a protection system consisting of balloons inflated with lighter-than-air gas, molded over the total exteror surface of the framework, and, a cover covering all the framework made of a fabric resistant to tears and small projectiles?excluding the passenger compartment. 2. The lighter-than-air craft of claim 1 wherein the framework of the craft represents a rectangular structure or extended cubical erected vertically which extremities seen from above form a square or a diamond pattern and which front of the craft is formed by the meeting point of two of the sides of the framework and the extension of these sides which allow the exterior envelope covering this surface of the framework both to cut facing winds and expose at proper angle said surfaces as sails to oncoming winds.3. The lighter-than-air craft of claim 1 wherein the framework of the craft consists of and is mounted around male or female connection corners which receive and link the horizontal cross-overs, the diagonal cross sections and the vertical pylons at each level of the framework to be solidly screwed and riveted together to facilitate mounting, dismantling and repair of the overall structure.4. The lighter-than-air craft of claim 1 wherein said protection system further includesa double exterior envelope consisting of said molded balloons, inflated with lighter-than-air gas, covering the exterior surface of the framework in exclusion of the cabin and a fabric resistant to tears and small projectiles covering and protecting all the exterior surfaces of the craft ?in exclusion of the cabin. 5. The lighter-than-air craft of claim 1 wherein the exterior envelope covering the exterior molded balloons attached to the framework serves as sail surfaces for the craft to exploit winds.6. The lighter-than-air craft of claim 1 wherein the mini electric power station has as initial source of energy the drive shaft of a liquid fuel engine geared to a series of alternators which energy production after transformation, supply electricity to the propellents, the compressor system, the stabilizer motor and the other electrically powered accessories of the said craft.7. The lighter-than-air craft of claim 1 wherein the horizontally oriented propellents and the vertically oriented propellents are powerful electric motors turning multiblade propellers placed inside long tubular passages allowing at the exit a concentrated air thrust.8. The lighter-than-air craft of claim 1 wherein the vertically oriented propellents(7) inserted in long tubular passages are placed inside each vertical pylons of the framework their exit being close to the base and the top of the framework; and, the horizontally oriented propellents inserted in long tubular passages are positioned at the top of the framework and above the cabin along the left and right frontal surface of the craft.9. The lighter-than-air craft of claim 1 wherein the stabilizer system is a gyroscope activated by a variable speed electric motor and set on an horizontal plane inside the framework between the machine floor and the ceiling of the cabin to eliminate uncomfortable sways and rolls of the craft and activated or disactivated in relation with the intended pilot maneuvers.10. The lighter-than-air craft of claim 1, wherein the molded balloons are permanently inflated and fitted to the exterior of the framework and the cover is also exterior to the molded balloons.11. The lighter-than-air craft of claim 1 wherein the balloons held by a system of cables, fitted to hooks on the horizontal cross-overs of the framework on being filled with a calculated quantity of decompressed lighter-than-air gas are used to reduce gradually the weight of the craft, of the loaded material and of the passengers and neutralize the earth attraction exerted on the craft and its load which can then be lifted in the air with the thrust of the vertical propellents.12. The lighter-than-air craft of claim 1 wherein the cabin is placed behind the vertical pylons of the framework,the cabin platform is set on the horizontal cross-overs and the diagonal cross sections held at the centre by a system of vertical beams supporting both the bottom level of the passenger compartment and the bottom level of the machine compartment of the framework; the overall structure is carried by a suspension system on wheels for ground movement and/or by a system of inflatable and retractable balloon-bags for sea landings; the windows fitted to the lateral balustrade are bulletproof; and, the secured cabin openings, for embarkation and disembarkation of passengers, are positioned at the rear of the cabin.
