In the field of aviation it is well known that a vehicle’s stability and takeoff flight segment are critical. This issue becomes more critical for a hybrid aircraft which is concealed as an airship with huge volume of hull as compared with fuselage of a conventional aircraft. In the present work, stability issues of a generic model of airship and of a conceptual model of hybrid aircraft are discussed. Special emphasis is given for future sizing of empennages of IWHA-14, a hybrid aircraft concept proposed for Malaysian inter island transportation. Effect of gondola position on rotation angle for takeoff ground roll was analyzed and it was found that such configurations can meet the requirement of minimum roll angle.
