In recent years, the study of semi-rigid airship has revived with the development of airships.
Semi-rigid airships have some characteristics of rigid airships and non-rigid airships. Due to …

Purpose This paper presents preliminary results of the modeling of a large autonomous
quad-rotor airship, with flying wing shape. This airship is supposed to be a flexible body …

This paper presents a modelling of an unmanned airship. We are studying a quadrotor flying
wing. The modelling of this airship includes an aerodynamic study. A special focus is done …

The paper presents the modelling and stabilisation of an unconventional airship. The
complexity of such a new design requires both proper dynamic modelling and control. A …

Fluid–structure interaction is an important issue for non-rigid airships with inflated
envelopes. In this study, a wind tunnel test is conducted, and a loosely coupled procedure is …

Numerical investigation was conducted on an airship of hull-fin configuration for
aerodynamic and aeroelastic characteristics in three-dimensional viscous flows. The …

This paper presents preliminary results of the modelling of an unconventional unmanned
airship moving in an ideal fluid. We are studying here a quad-rotor flying wing. The airships …
