Lighter-Than-Air Vehicles for Civilian and Military Applications
Lighter-than-Air Vehicles for Civilian and Military Applications From the world leaders in the manufacture of aerostats, airships, air cell structures, gas balloons & tethered balloons Aerostats Parachute Training Balloons Airships Nose Docking and PARACHUTE TRAINING BALLOONS Mooring Mast System The airborne Parachute Training Balloon system (PTB) is used to give preliminary training in static line parachute jumping. For this purpose, an Instructor and a number of trainees are carried to the operational height in a balloon car, the winch is stopped, and when certain conditions are satisfied, the trainees are dispatched and make their parachute descent from the balloon car. GA-22 Airship Fully Autonomous AIRSHIPS An airship or dirigible is a type of aerostat or “lighter-than-air aircraft” that can be steered and propelled through the air using rudders and propellers or other thrust mechanisms. Unlike aerodynamic aircraft such as fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, which produce lift by moving a wing through the air, aerostatic aircraft, and unlike hot air balloons, stay aloft by filling a large cavity with a AEROSTATS lifting gas. The main types of airship are non rigid (blimps), semi-rigid and rigid. Non rigid Aerostats are a cost effective and efficient way to raise a payload to a required altitude. airships use a pressure level in excess of the surrounding air pressure to retain Also known as a blimp or kite aerostat, aerostats have been in use since the early 19th century their shape during flight. Unlike the rigid design, the non-rigid airship’s gas for a variety of observation purposes.

Airborne Arctic Weather Ships Is Almost Certain to Be Controversial
J. Gordon Vaeth airborne Arctic National Weather Satellite Center U. S. Weather Bureau weather ships Washington, D. C. Historical background In the mid-1920's Norway's Fridtjof Nansen organized an international association called Aeroarctic. As its name implies, its purpose was the scientific exploration of the north polar regions by aircraft, particularly by airship. When Nansen died in 1930 Dr. Hugo Eckener of Luftschiffbau-Zeppelin Company suc- ceeded him to the Aeroarctic presidency. He placed his airship, the Graf Zeppelin, at the disposal of the organization and the following year carried out a three-day flight over and along the shores of the Arctic Ocean. The roster of scientists who made this 1931 flight, which originated in Leningrad, in- cluded meteorologists and geographers from the United States, the Soviet Union, Sweden, and, of course, Germany. One of them was Professor Moltschanoff who would launch three of his early radiosondes from the dirigible before the expedition was over. During a trip which was completed without incident and which included a water land- ing off Franz Josef Land to rendezvous with the Soviet icebreaker Malygin, considerable new information on Arctic weather and geography was obtained. Means for Arctic More than thirty years have since elapsed. Overflight of Arctic waters is no longer his- weather observations toric or even newsworthy. Yet weather in the Polar Basin remains fragmentarily ob- served, known, and understood. To remedy this situation, the following are being actively proposed for widespread Arctic use: Automatic observing and reporting stations, similar to the isotopic-powered U. S. Weather Bureau station located in the Canadian Arctic.

Ardema Ames Research Center Moffett Field, California National Aeronautics and Space Administration Scientific and Technical Information Branch 1981 VEHICLECONCEPTS AND TECHNOLOGYREQUIREMENTS FOR BUOYANT HEAVY-LIFTSYSTEMS Mark D. Ardema Ames Research Center Several buoyant-vehicle (airship) concepts proposed for short hauls of heavy payloads are described. Numer- ous studies have identified operating cost and payload capacity advantages relative to existing or proposed heavy-lift helicopters for such vehicles. Applications mvolving payloads of from 15 tons up to 800 tons have been identified. The buoyant quad-rotor concept is discussed in detail, including the history of its development, current estimates of performance and economics, currently perceived technology requirements, and recent research and technology development. It is concluded that the buoyant quad-rotor, and possibly other buoyant vehicle concepts, has the potential of satisfying the market for very heavy vertical lift but that additional research and technology development are necessary. Because of uncertainties in analytical prediction methods and small-scale experimental measurements, there is a strong need for large or full-scale experiments in ground test facilities and, ultimately, with a flight research vehicle. INTRODUCTION world vehicles is about 18 tons. Listed in the figure are several payload candidates for airborne vertical lift that are beyond this 18-ton payload weight limit, Feasibility studies of modern airships (refs.

Most of these programs were thwarted by Airships (HAA) as a platform for surveillance or problems associated with tether dynamics. communications operations has attracted growing interest. Many technical obstacles exist with regard to High Platform the successful launch, flight, and recovery of such systems. In the late 1960’s, Raven Industries was contracted to build a small stratospheric airship as a technology Many decades of technological innovation in the field demonstrator.1 The High Platform II vehicle was of scientific ballooning have resulted in a number of designed for a small payload of five pounds and a technologies that are directly applicable towards the cruising altitude of 67,000 feet. Since it was designed success of the HAA platform. Among these are as a technology demonstrator, the vehicle was advances in materials, design, and launch methods. programmed to track the sun during the flight. The Discussed herein are potential applications of these demonstration flight was considered a success by flying technologies towards the development of a viable High for two hours under power. It also did not carry any Altitude Airship system. batteries, so it could not operate at night. This is quite possibly the only airship ever to fly under power in the HISTORICAL BACKGROUND stratosphere.

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.

To What Extent Does Modern Technology Address the Problems of Past
To what extent does modern technology address the problems of past airships? Ansel Sterling Barnes Today, we have numerous technologies we take for granted: electricity, easy internet access, wireless communications, vast networks of highways crossing the continents, and flights crisscrossing the globe. Flight, though, is special because it captures man’s imagination. Humankind has dreamed of flight since Paleolithic times, and has achieved it with heavier-than-air craft such as airplanes and helicopters. Both of these are very useful and have many applications, but for certain jobs, these aircraft are not the ideal option because they are loud and waste energy. Luckily, there is an alternative to energy hogs like airplanes or helicopters, a lighter-than-air craft that predates both: airships! Airships do not generate their own lift through sheer power like heavier-than-air craft. They are airborne submarines of a sort that use a different lift source: gas. They don’t need to use the force of moving air to lift them from the ground, so they require very little energy to lift off or to fly. Unfortunately, there were problems with past airships; problems that were the reason for the decline of airships after World War II: cost, pilot skill, vulnerability to weather, complex systems control, materials, size, power source, and lifting gas. This begs the question: To what extent does modern technology address the problems of past airships? With today’s technology, said problems can be managed. Most people know lighter-than-air craft by one name or another: hot air balloons, blimps, dirigibles, zeppelins, etc.
