A Detailed Consideration of the Effect of Meteorological Conditions on Airships

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  14 September 2016

Extract

In presenting this paper the authors are conscious of the fact that it contains very little information which is actually new. They feel, however, that the collection and co-relation of items of theory and experience which may not be widely known will prove useful to those who may have to consider the employment of airships on long journeys through necessarily varying meteorological conditions.
