If there’s a new airship video out… it’s a good day.

i have been enjoying the last 24 hours watching them. they are going to come back - autonomous hydrogen airships are the best solution to building in harsh environments and with the arctic opening up there is much infrastructure to be built there as well as much of the 3rd world that doesn't have the road and rail links that blimps can help overcome; once enough of them are built then building airships for passenger travel will follow!!!

@@cliffwoodbury5319 Je pense, mais je ne suis pas spécialiste, que si on en construit, ce devrait être pour passager, des croisières aériennes. Par exemple Europe-Rio,ou n’importe quoi,mais des voyages qui durent. Du tourisme quoi.

Excellent talk. Thank you. I can recommend (also) Nevil Shute's non-fiction book Slide Rule - which includes accounts of the R100 airship flights he made (for the gentleman who enquired about those). It is a much cheaper and more available than the Meager book.

An equally fascinating book is the book "The Millionth Chance, Story of the R101", By James Leasor. It gives an alternative point if view regarding the building and crash of the R101.

Obviously if the R100 went into passenger service women would've flown on it, but not as crew (with the possible exception of a stewardess-nurse).

I wonder why they stressed the passengers had to be contained *INSIDE THE ENVELOPE*? No more of this hauling passengers on logs tied to balloons behind the airship?

@airshipheritagetrust1419 2 жыл бұрын

Hi there, it was stressed as inside the envelope, as all other airships in the past had held passengers in a gondola below the hull or envelope of the airship, such as the Graf Zeppelin etc. After the R-100 and R 101 designs, all other airships followed this new formula

@drewgehringer7813 Жыл бұрын

Smaller gondolas are better for aerodynamics: big bumps sticking out from the envelope add drag, and the bigger the bump the more drag added. Moving as much passenger and crew space as you can into the envelope, so the gondola can just be a small cockpit, radio room, and navigation room makes an airship sleeker and faster. The Germans realized the same thing, that's why the Hindenburg and second Graf Zeppelin moved passenger areas up into the envelope too.
