hey patrick,

i am a designer as well, and my thesis project was an airship. Take a look at it, perhaps it will help you.
google "Airship one" or my name.
 i started by researching deeply the area of aeronautics and aircraft construction. if you want i can send you my research materials.
i started with 2 rules of thumb:

calculate the payload you want to carry and then the volume of gas you will need
if you are going to use aerodynamic lift- estimate the cruising speed of the craft, and work with the lift equation:

L=(m*V(Sq)*s*cL)/2

m=mass
v=speed
s=wing area
cl-lift coefficient

good luck and contact me if you need more info

Subject: [Airshipworld List] HELP!! i'm designing an Airship


Hello people,

I am a design student at Coventry University and I am designing an Airship.

I would like to talk to Airship enthusiasts about what you think is
important if airships were to come back into large scale production.

I want to create an airship capable of carrying heavy loads and would be
interested in what you think I need to make this a realistic achievement. I
am not an expert, but I would like to be well informed, so I have come to
YOU. I have no target market in mind. I want to create something that can be
used for lots of different uses; such as a luxury hotel, a mobile hospital
and freight carrying. If I created an Airship that could be moulded into all
these applications, it could be a relevent future vehicle, which has much
better GREEN credentials that other modes of transport, such as the plane
and boat.

Its the technical stuff, like structures, engines, volumes needed etc.. that
i'm having trouble with so if you could help, it would be great.

looking forward to hearing from you

Patrick
