Abstract
Airships with small horizontal cross-section and tall height are proposed. Such vertical airships have a remarkable advantage with respect to available locations for landing and mooring. Envelopes of vertical airships for flight experiments were manufactured and flight experiments were carried out. Aerodynamic characteristics of vertical airships are discussed.
