Zeppelin Drag
Zeppelin Drag
(OP)
Hi,
A bit of a silly question maybe, but I remeber that I've seen a picture once on the internet with a drag comparison between several kinds (shapes) of airships, which I can't find anymore.
Does anyone know about such studies and where I can find these comparisons.
I've been looking in Hoerner's book as well, but that was much more general, not specifically for airships.
Thanks,
Gerrit

RE: Zeppelin Drag
Although I don't think this is specifically what you are looking for, there was a NACA Report 117 from the 1920's that dealt with drag of the Zepplin airships.
