A parametric performance study was made of the capabilities of future large airships into the 1980 period. It is a considerable extrapolation from past actual constructions as to physical size and gross weight, speeds, and altitudes. Previous airships reached weights of 400,000 pounds, speeds of 80 knots, and normal altitudes of 5-10,000 feet. This study covers gross weights to 1,500,000 pounds, speeds to 210 knots, and design altitudes of 20,000 feet. It also examines the possibilities of a combined static-dynamic lift configuration as contrasted with the all-static lift airship of the past. (Author)
