The United States aerospace community has entered an era characterized by declining activity, due largely to the increasing complexity and cost of aerospace systems. Industry and Government are engaged in a search for air vehicles that will carry increasingly larger payloads at reduced cost and levels of pollution, and that will not require vast expanses of land from which to operate. To this end, the dirigible (rigid airship), a versatile and ecologically clean transportation system which offers exceptional payload capability, endurance, range and flight stability, may be given renewed consideration.
