This technical memorandum documents the work performed in the area of airship structures technology in support of the Advanced Navy Vehicle Concepts Evaluation Program. This work provides an assessment of contemporary rigid airship structural design technology and recommendations for future work. It was concluded that modern airship structures will be significantly more efficient than historical designs, and that the most attractive concepts for achieving these improvements are the geodetic design, the modernized versions of the Akron/Macon construction as was used in the ANVCE point designs, and the sandwich structure for very large sizes.
