Abstract Hybrid Airships (HAs) are being touted as an efficient aerial platform for various
applications involving heavy cargo transportation, communications, scientific exploration …

In recent years, hybrid airships have been identified as promising alternatives for high
altitude, long endurance missions. In this study, a design methodology to study the feasibility …

It is well known that hydrogen has less undesirable exhaust emissions as compared with
other types of liquid fuels. It can be used as an alternative fuel for a hybrid buoyant aircraft in …

In comparison with traditional aircraft design, the configuration design phase of a hybrid
buoyant aircraft is quite complex due to the augmentation of aerostatic and aerodynamic lift …

Directional stability characteristics explain the capabilities of a hybrid buoyant aircraft's
performance against the side wind, which induces flow separation that is chaotic in nature …

The current research aims to design a novel concept for an efficient wing buoyancy assisted
aircraft (EWBA) by investigating the optimum aerodynamic efficiency of next-generation …

Hybrid buoyant aircraft are new to the arena of air travel. They have the potential to boost the
industry by leveraging new emerging lighter-than-air (LTA) and heavier-than-air (HTA) …

Geometric and volumetric quantities are usually used to define the reference area for the
prediction of aerodynamic coefficients of various aquatic mammals, airships and unmanned …

Concept of aerostatic lift from the long ignored buoyant aerial vehicles has now a day been
applied for partial fulfilment of the lift requirement for hybrid buoyant aircraft. This diffused lift …
