Abstract

This paper gives the detailed and step-wise procedure for designing and fabrication of the indoor remotely controlled Airships. The methodology is a systematic collation of various design approaches and concepts, which were studied during the ongoing design and field trial exercises related to remotely controlled airships at the Lighter-Than-Air Systems Laboratory of IIT Bombay along with some other commercially available airships. A methodology for arriving at the dimensions of fins from static stability conditions along with its attachment on the envelope surface is presented. The paper also focuses on the design, shape and materials used for the envelopes of airships along with the fabrication process of the same. This paper also emphasizes on key design issues related to gondola (fuselage) viz., design, shape and attachment to the envelope.
