Economic factors of airship transportation were discussed to a large extent. A study related to the inventory of existing proposals for airship projects is reported, together with the evaluations of economic and technical feasibility. The application of an airship to the transportation of indivisible loads is discussed. A design for an airship carry 890 passengers and 200 tons of cargo is described. The use of nuclear propulsion for airships was examined. A novel concept of drag reduction for airships by wave incidence control is described.
