Material testing update
In continuation on the material preparation and its assessment we prepared the first workshop test matrix for the Phase II TPU envelope material. This update focuses on the next step: what we are testing, why the current targets changed, what the active plan is, and the first recorded outputs from the strip-loop tests. What we…
TPU material for Phase II
As per our Phase II planning we reached moment where some material decisions needed to be done also to prevent Phase I material fiasco. One of the main ones was the envelope material. This was not really a glamorous design decision, but it was one of those practical decisions where the rest of the project…
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…
