An evaluation is presented of the hull temperature measurements and flight data recorded during the test flight of an airship (blimp) in July and August, 1976, in Ghana and Upper Volta. The hull temperature data and related environmental parameters allow analyzing the heat transfer characteristics of the hull, the emission behavior of the surface, and the heat transfer coefficients as a function of the flow velocity. The flight data provide insight into the airship's operational performance, especially maximum and minimum cargo and fuel consumption.
