airships

Hi, I am new to this forum so sorry if this question is out of place.
I have started to research airships and am interested in locating a risk analysis document. On the surface it appears to be simple: size and weather, hydrogen versus helium, etc, but I did not want to assume.

If anyone could point in the correct direction it would be appreciated.
in advanced thank you.

Just a suggestion...

There are many fine people who post on here that have sometimes quite remarkable knowledge and information & they are very helpful.

Maybe add a little detail to your question - what have you found so far, what are you researching for....have you already done a Google search etc.

Agree with Load Toad, plenty on-line, and there is a book called Dr Eckener's Dream Machine which might help.

Apparently Helium is becoming much rarer, which might soon have consequences for Airships.

I am researching airships for my own reasons at the moment. I found that a good nearby university library carried a lot of material. You are unlikely to find a lot of material on the interweb, as most airship websites are just history stuff, not technical. Fibd a good library and you should find what you need - most of it in specialist books published before WW2.
