i have been enjoying the last 24 hours watching them. they are going to come back - autonomous hydrogen airships are the best solution to building in harsh environments and with the arctic opening up there is much infrastructure to be built there as well as much of the 3rd world that doesn't have the road and rail links that blimps can help overcome; once enough of them are built then building airships for passenger travel will follow!!!
@@cliffwoodbury5319 Je pense, mais je ne suis pas spécialiste, que si on en construit, ce devrait être pour passager, des croisières aériennes. Par exemple Europe-Rio,ou n’importe quoi,mais des voyages qui durent. Du tourisme quoi.
Excellent talk. Thank you. I can recommend (also) Nevil Shute's non-fiction book Slide Rule - which includes accounts of the R100 airship flights he made (for the gentleman who enquired about those). It is a much cheaper and more available than the Meager book.
An equally fascinating book is the book "The Millionth Chance, Story of the R101", By James Leasor. It gives an alternative point if view regarding the building and crash of the R101.
Hello, good day, is there any way to be connected to this airship loving community? like getting updates and getting to learn by being in the meetings :)
Hi Sizan, please subcribe to our channel or check out our website www.airshipsonline.com This was a lecture given to members at our Annual General Meeting last week. We hope to do more talks online to members over the coming months.
@@jamesricker3997 Yep - indeed. And modern lightweight engines, what's stopping people? Laws of physics don't change so there is the advantage in new materials.
I wonder why they stressed the passengers had to be contained *INSIDE THE ENVELOPE*? No more of this hauling passengers on logs tied to balloons behind the airship?
Hi there, it was stressed as inside the envelope, as all other airships in the past had held passengers in a gondola below the hull or envelope of the airship, such as the Graf Zeppelin etc. After the R-100 and R 101 designs, all other airships followed this new formula
Smaller gondolas are better for aerodynamics: big bumps sticking out from the envelope add drag, and the bigger the bump the more drag added. Moving as much passenger and crew space as you can into the envelope, so the gondola can just be a small cockpit, radio room, and navigation room makes an airship sleeker and faster. The Germans realized the same thing, that's why the Hindenburg and second Graf Zeppelin moved passenger areas up into the envelope too.

If there’s a new airship video out… it’s a good day.
and we are in the process of doing more!

VERY Interesting talk on the "Hundred". Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it
Such an interesting presentation, thank you so much
Thank you and more videos to come!

Shute Norway eas a brilliant man in his own right with Airspeed and his Oxford.
Liked and shared.
Fantastic video on the subject.
Glad you liked it! Thank you
Thanks for this wonderful presentation. I’ve learned so much from it.
So glad! We'll keep adding more content
Fantastic talk...very enjoyable!
Glad you enjoyed it! We'll hopefully have more talks to add online in the coming months to share
Truly fascinating
Thank you - we hope to do more soon
6:27- ZR-1 was Shenandoah, not Los Angeles. LA was ZR-3.
The geodesic design was much touted in WW2.

Imagine the weight of all those rivets. Wonder what weight savings today's welding would make.
or using modern materials such as carbon fibre?
@@airshipheritagetrust1419 and plastics, the skin would be a fraction of the weight it was
@@jamesricker3997 Yep - indeed. And modern lightweight engines, what's stopping people? Laws of physics don't change so there is the advantage in new materials.
Obviously if the R100 went into passenger service women would've flown on it, but not as crew (with the possible exception of a stewardess-nurse).
wow
Thank you

Don't think it was a matter of understanding the physics but making it happen structurally.@@drewgehringer7813
Erm... erm...er... ermm...
Makes it a hard listen...
With 20:20 hindsight we can now see both airships and empire were terrible ideas. But, they still look great in photos!🙃
