I didn't see any topics featuring or referencing this interesting airship (including the compelling figures involved in its development and construction), but I came across a some newsreel footage of it worthy of posting and created this topic for reference and as a potentially clearinghouse for...

Nearly forgotten, another project is mentioned, from a company not really known for producing airships: At the beginning of the '70s, the Dornier AG had drawn projects for a passenger and a cargo carrying airship. Those studies were ordered by the "Flugschiffbau Hamburg GmbH", without precise...

Cloudbase is the fictional skyborne headquarters of international security organisation Spectrum, from Gerry Anderson's science fiction television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons Years later the British Interplanetary Society proposed so a Cloudbase, but for Atmosphere of Venus ! In...

The recent near space manoeuvring thread features work by J P Aerospace and got me thinking that their airship to orbit (ATO) programme deserves its own thread. ATO is one of the more original (many say impossible!) ideas for getting to LEO. Following ATO description is taken from attached PDF...

Today I had a look into "Luftshiffe die nie gebaut wurden" (Airships, which were never built), published by the Zeppelinmuseum, Friedrichshafen. Most spectacular are the two designs from Frank Tinsley, based on work done by Goodyear. A flying aircraft carrier from 1951 and the better known...

In an issue of Icare, I think from 1979, I found this photo of an unfinished fuselage, shown at an exhibition. I would call this a geodesic structure, invented, or at least first used in aircraft design, by Barnes Wallis in 1932. But the photo shows a Latécoère aircraft ! I still couldn't...

When was the technology available for the introduction of SkyCats should a demand for their capability arise earlier?

Overscan, is it allowed to create a thread regarding airships ;) ? Around 1964 the US company Aereon built an interesting nameless(?) airship. 1. Did it ever fly? 2. Is the marked area (see arrow) the cabin for pilot and second person? 3. Has it a name/designation? 4. I'm still looking for...
