Their dissimilar characteristics: aerodynamic efficiency; comparison of gross lift-thrust ratios; waste of lifting gas; water recovery; hydrogen burning; relation of weight to load; increase of deadweight to load; comparison of useful fields; long-distance voyages. Similar characteristics: initial percentage of useful load; percentage of deadweight to gross load; initial cost; relative operating costs; insurance and safety, etc. On account of its aerodynamic superiority, airship will be used wherever possible for carrying passengers in comfort.
