Airship Sling-Load Operations: A Model Flight-Test Approach

Eissing, Johannes / Eissing, Carl S. / Fink, Erich / Zobel, Martin / Antrack, Florian

The transportation of heavy loads is the ultimate yet to be achieved mission for airships. Several other cargo is being transported by airships successfully. Objective of this research is focused on how load exchange with near equilibrium airships can be performed. Proposed solutions aiming at similar targets have not demonstrated successfully yet or did not meet certification requirements. We introduce a viable approach and describe the procedure that resembles helicopter sling load operations, step-by-step. Demonstrating its viability is achieved by building a suitable airship model and performing model flight tests. The research identifies weaknesses and critical points in load exchange procedures. Setting up the flight test environment, controller and suitable airship configuration is the first step performed. Operational challenges during the flight missions result in learnings and observations of importance for performing such flight tests. Observations regarding maneuverability of the model help in improving the propulsion and controller configuration of heavy load airships.
