Evaluation of a heated-air airship for the environment of Titan
… of Saturn's moon Titan can be carried out by airships, which have the capability to study the atmosphere as well as the capability to land and study the surface at multiple locations. Several lighter-than-air gas airships and passive drifting heated-air balloon designs have been studied, but a …

Minimum Energy Control Strategy for an Uninhabited Airship with a Moving Gondola
An airship with a moving gondola is investigated with the goal of achieving a large pitch angle and of minimizing the total energy consumption required to goal position. The airship in this study is equipped with different actuation tools such as a moving gondola and a vectoring thrust, which can …

Rivals in the sky : the developmental relationship between the airship and the airplane.
… catastrophe ended the long reign of the rigid airship. In actuality, realistic prospects for the widespread use of the airship ceased in 1918 with the end of the First World War. Airplanes and seaplanes quickly moved from experimental models to commercial and military dominance. While the two …

Guidance, Navigation and Control of a Fly-By-Wire Transport Category Airship Designed for Hover Cargo Delivery
… pilot controls for a transport category airship propelled with six thrust vectoring engines, and to develop control laws to maintain position, heading, and attitude during hover and cargo operations. Owing to the large body area, most airships require that they be pointed into the wind to …

Rediscovering the arcane science of ground handling large airships : an investigation into ways of reducing the risks inherent in the development of a new generation of very large airships and of establishing guidelines for their ground handling procedure
… handling and support systems of the large rigid airships (commonly known as "Zeppelins") that were built between 1900 and 1940. The intention was to assess the value of such historical information as has survived from the previous generation of very large airships in order to minimise the …

Inflated cylindrical envelope subjected to axial compressive load
… structures has been studied by research units of airship and fabric companies. However, due to the difficulties of solving such problems by analysis, there is still lack of theoretical methods, even approximate solutions. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate theoretical analysis for …

The playful Karoo: digitizing the South African Anthropocene in video games
… farms (Rosenthal, 2004). Travelling in her airship-like dirigible, she encounters diverse characters and climate challenges, reflecting the Karoo’s transformation. Through this adaptation, from novel to VR video game, I explore how Souvenir’s themes come alive in VR, offering an interactive …
