Phase II Envelope Iteration: Mk1 -> Mk2 -> Mk3 (Aerodynamics Focus)

As part of our Phase II envelope design, we wanted to understand how the interface between two adjacent hulls affects turbulence and parasitic drag. Mk1, Mk2 and Mk3 variants were developed to explore how these envelope shapes behave within the CFD (Computer Fluid Dynamics) modelling The short version: Design Workflow For each iteration, we:1. Modelled…

Visit to Museum of Military History Vienna

Long story short, we ended visiting The Museum of Military History in Vienna on the 2nd of January and it was great! To my surprise, my passion for airships followed us there too. The first encounter ended up with an image of “Imperial and Royal Military Airship M.IV, Boemches system, 1912. Apparently, the Imperial and…

CF Tubes – Phase II: Heating Rig Test & First Wins

Over the weekend we finally achieved something worth reporting! As part of our airship design and Phase II scale‑up (see our Carbon Fiber Tube Sizing conversation around the H2Use project), we need to develop a new 19 m long, Ø 400 mm carbon‑fiber tube that can withstand the loads and deflections defined in our sizing study. Specs recap:…
