Discusses design of R-101 being constructed by Air Ministry at Cardington; there are 15 main longitudinal girders, each equilateral triangle, located entirely on outside of transverse frames; airship has no keel, and no intermediate transverse frames; outstanding problem is that of providing much stronger girders of greater span than used hitherto. Paper read before Instn. Naval Architects. (13 figs. partly on p. 399) (See also - (discussion) p 398 and 340; Engineering vol. 125, no. 3248, Apr. 13, 1928 pp. 457-459, 6 figs.; also Flight, vol. 20, no. 15, Apr. 1928, p. 252)
