Hi Patrick,
I'm Johannes, aeronautical engineer, working in the flight physics department of ZLT Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik. We get requests from time to time from design or aeronautics students, and I'm trying to give (hopefully) useful hints.
I'm running a yahoogroup on RC Airship Regattas (good fun!), where I posted some basics concerning airship conceptual design recently. Find the yahoogroup here
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/rc_airship_regatta/and the messages concerning the basics here
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/rc_airship_regatta/message/505and a correction here
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/rc_airship_regatta/message/511Please don't hesitate to put more particular questions.
Best, Johannes
