"Centenaria" - Turin, Italy 6 - 12 October 2003

Nautilus gives its sponsorship to "Centenaria", an event organised by DIASP (Aviation and Space Department of the Politecnico di Torino) in Turin to celebrate the three hundred anniversaries which take place in 2003: that of the first flight by the Wright brothers, the hundred anniversary of Carlo Ferrari birth as well as that of Giuseppe Gabrielli. Nautilus took part in the production of a movie integrated by other sponsors such as Alenia, Avio, Microtecnica and the Italian Air Force. For this a swivelling cable-controlled TV camera installed onto an aerostat (Nautilus-Item system) broadcasted in real-time the pictures of the Politecnico inner court and of the surrounding panorama on the screen in the Politecnico great Hall. Nautilus and the Politecnico also exhibited a poster concerning the new generation of radio-commanded airship including the initial speculations about on-board energy generation.
