SkyCat derived from "Sky Catamaran" refers to a class of modern heavy-lift and ultra-heavy-lift aircraft vehicular technologies; hybrid aircraft which derive more than half of their lift by helium buoyancy and the balance of their lift by aerodynamic shaping. Such vehicles are not "payload specific".

SkyCat is a registered trademark of the Hybrid Aircraft Corporation[1]

SkyCat air vehicle developments are being pursued by at least one major aerospace company. DARPA concluded their "WALRUS" contract with industry to explore technology options that might be employed in such vehicles as SkyCat in CY-2006. [2]
