Originally published in 1927, this volume was intended to fill the
dual role of textbook for the student of airship design and
handbook for the practical engineer. The design of airships,
particularly of the rigid type, is mainly a structural problem; and
theoretical aerodynamics has nothing like the relative importance
which it bears in airplane design. This is to be expected when we
consider that the gross lift of an airship depends solely on the
specific gravity of the gas and the bulk of the gas container, and
not at all on shape or other aerodynamic characteristics which
determine the lift of airplanes.
