Estimation of aerodynamic parameters of IIUM hybrid airship

Estimation of aerodynamic parameters of IIUM hybrid airship

The aerodynamic parameters of a preliminary IIUM low speed winged-hull airship design is investigated. The objective is to study the aerodynamic parameters of the wingedhull airship and to find the necessities of attaching wings to the existing IIUM low speed airship. The research methodology invo...
