Recent Researches in Airship Construction 3: A New Type of Nonrigid Airship (open access)

Recent Researches in Airship Construction 3: A New Type of Nonrigid Airship

The author describes experiments in designing nonrigid airships. A nonrigid airship of 32,000 cubic meters, the PL 27 withstood all stresses with 20 kg/m(exp 2) hull pressure during its life of two years. The moment of resistance is known, as also the stresses in the envelope for the given hull pressure. The mean internal pressure necessary to give the airship the requisite rigidity and to prevent buckling was also investigated.
