Abstract Hybrid Airships (HAs) are being touted as an efficient aerial platform for various
applications involving heavy cargo transportation, communications, scientific exploration …

The research and development of diverse types of airships are reviewed in this paper. The
early history of non-rigid, semi-rigid, and rigid airships is first introduced. It is followed by a …

Now in its third edition, this textbook is a comprehensive introduction to the multidisciplinary
field of mobile robotics, which lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence, computational …

Problems in the motion control of aircraft are of perennial interest to the control engineer as
they tend to be of complex and nonlinear nature. Modelling and Control of Mini-Flying …

Here we provide the first formal quantitative analysis of dynamic stability in a flying animal.
By measuring the longitudinal static stability derivatives and mass distribution of desert …

The dynamics of an airship are markedly different from traditional aircraft, with significant
effects from added mass and inertia, and a much higher sensitivity to wind. In this paper, a …

The stratospheric airship, which is a new concept of autonomous atmospheric flight
platforms, can operate over a period of time at very high altitudes to accomplish various …

Aiming at flight property of airship, a trajectory tracking controller of airship horizontal model
is designed based on active disturbance rejection control (ADRC). The six Degree of …

The resurgence of airships has created a need for dynamics models and simulation
capabilities adapted to these lighter-than-air vehicles. However, the modeling techniques for …
