EOMST unmanned blimps
EOMST unmanned blimps are Chinese UAVs developed by Shandong [1] in Zoucheng, intended for various applications such as aerial survey, advertisement and law enforcement applications. These unmanned blimps are often named after their respective lengths. For example: if a blimp is 11 meters long, then it is named Type 1100, because 11 meters is equal to 1100 millimeters.
