Extract

The work described below deals, in detail, with the methods whereby the motion of an airship can be calculated. The possible motions of an airship are affected by such factors as its stability, motion of controls, release of hydrogen, dropping of ballast, engine power available, and gustiness of the air. The methods to be described are capable of dealing with these effects either separately or combined in any arbitrary proportions.
