This paper gives a brief overview about the CargoLifter demonstrator airship called Joey. Joey is a 1:8 scale airship of the CargoLifter CL 160, which results in a length of 32 m and a volume of about 1000 m3. Although it is not possible to scale down all relevant effects and factors from the original to the demonstrator, a lot of major questions can be answered by designing, building and operating Joey. Additional, the run through the whole development and design process, production and assembly procedure rises a lot of questions which have to be answered for the CL 160, too. This approach allows to involve this questions into the CL 160 design at an early stage.
