INTRODUCTION Interact in airships is today greater that; at any time since the Second World War and there are those Who believe that they are poised to make a comeback. Since the mid 1070s, governments in sevfiil countries, notably the U.5., France and Japan, have put mono/ into studies of their feasibility and have even supported technology development programmes. The past, few years have seen the emergence of a nascent airship industry and the first orders for neW airships in more than three.' decades have recently been placed. To many this reneWed interest is something of a puzzle. The Word ’airship’ remains coloured by past perceptions and by the spec­ tacular disasters that brought the development of large rigid airships to a close in the 19t0s. Airships, many still believe, nave mere d u n c e of ooaur.g to grief than anything else that moves. There are others Who feel that a I run s ps be long more to the pages of comic books than to the v.orld of seri n! iviatior.. And still others Who associate the airship wt'h the rr.t.iant ic era of luxury travel and the days When giant craft glided gently through the air to the sound of an orchestra and the expensive tinkle of porcelain, crystal and silver. Til so days are gom. for cover, replaced by Jumbo class travel Wi th its plastic trays. Sue!, perceptions have not only hampered the objective assessment of the airship’* pant performance; t'.u-y also stand in the Way of a real appraisal of the airship’s future potential. This potential has been documented in numerous hook:- < rid studies Which have ap­ peared in recent yi’iir: . i-lome of these u indicated that the air­ ship's potential appears particularly great developing countries.

It turns out the tower was not grounded. The lightning came down the heliax coaxial cables, about 2 inches in diameter (no cm back then), into the building. One of the (vacuum tube, remember those?) VHF radios looked like the speaker grille was hit by a fist from behind. The CD director's telephone was melted on the desk. All the electrical outlets were burned and the air-raid siren relay was welded ‘on’. The siren activated and would not turn off. The only person in the office was a secretary who knew nothing about electricity. I think she must have aged 10 years in 2 seconds that day. I was in high school at the time and came to realize at a tender age that there is no such thing as a ‘lightning protector’.

  • Goodyear – Civilian Blimps
    Goodyear – civilian blimps Peter Lobner, 24 August 2021 1. Introduction Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company began their involvement with lighter-than-air (LTA) vehicles in 1912, when the company developed a fabric envelope suitable for use in airships and aerostats. The first blimps manufactured by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company were B-Type blimps ordered by the US Navy in 1917 for convoy escort duty. Goodyear (envelope supplier) and Curtiss Aeroplane (gondola supplier) produced 9 of the 17 B-Type blimps ordered. Goodyear also supplied the envelopes for some of the Navy’s 10 C-Type patrol blimps, which were delivered in 1918, after the end of WW I. Both the B- and C-Type blimps used hydrogen as the lift gas. In 1923, Goodyear teamed with German firm Luftschiffbau Zeppelin and created a new subsidiary, Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation. In June 1925, their Type AD Pilgrim (NC-9A) made its first flight and became Goodyear’s first blimp to use helium lift gas. Pilgrim was certified later in 1925, becoming the first US commercial airship. Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation filed a patent application for a nonrigid airship in September 1929, describing the objectives of their invention as follows: “This invention relates to non-rigid airships, and it has particular relation to the suspension of pilot cars or gondolas from the envelopes of non-rigid airships. The principal object of the invention is to provide a non-rigid airship in which the envelope and the pilot car or engine car are so constructed as to offer the minimum air resistance. Another object of the invention is to provide connections between the envelope and pilot car that are not exposed to the airstream for sustaining the weight of the pilot car, as well as stabilizing it against lateral or longitudinal movement.” 1 In patent Figure 1, the pressurized lift gas envelope (10) contains an air ballonet (12, for adjusting airship buoyancy) and a load suspension system for carrying and distributing the weight of the gondola (11) affixed under the envelope and the thrust loads from the with attached engines.

Logistics requirements fall into three broad, overlapping categories: Immediate, Mid- Term, and Sustainment requirements. These categories commence and terminate at different times depending on the theater of operations, with Immediate being the most time sensitive and Sustainment the least. They are: 1. Immediate: War materiel needed as soon as combat forces are inserted into a theater of operations in order to enable them to attain a credible defensive posture. 2. Mid-Term: War materiel, which strengthens in-place forces and permits expansion to higher force levels. 3. Sustainment: War materiel needed to maintain combat operations at the desired tempo. US strategic transport systems divide into two categories: airlift and sealift.
