A Conceptual Design of a Lighter-than-Air Test and Research Vehicle.

Abstract

An analysis of conventional lighter-than-air vehicles was conducted to determine if a modular design approach was feasible. Once this was accomplished, a conceptual design using the modular approach is presented for a vehicle to serve as a platform for conducting lighter-than-air flight tests and research. In addition, a general discussion is included on the program management organization, flight tests, and instrumentation of such a vehicle. (Author)
