A theory of the Hindenburg fire that has recently gained popular acceptance proposes that the paint on the outer surface of the airship caused both the fire and its rapid spread. However, application of physical laws and numerical calculations demonstrate that the theory contains egregious errors. Specifically: (1) The proposed ignition source (an electrical spark) does not have sufficient ener...

Today, airships have many uses and been considered because they combine the benefits of a ship an aircraft low cost energy consumption. In this research, with help numerical solutions analytical in Datcom, three common configurations airship at various angles attack are investigated. The results compared. Flow condition was altitude 4 km above ground. same not obtained solutions. Certainly, can...

Different from the aircraft TC reconnaissance flight missions before, a tropical cyclone (TC) field campaign project with Doppler radar equipped on an airship that could hang over top of (about 20 km) has been recently carried out in China. To understand impact airship-borne radial wind observations forecasting, this work conducted quick observation simulation system experiments (QuickOSSE) by ...
