For the first time in special literature, the book covers the dynamics of the airship from the point of view of practical aeronautics and provides scientific justification for those cases from the practice of operating airships that have so far seemed phenomenal. The book gives the commander of the ship an understanding of some critical cases of flight, puts forward a number of new problems for theorists and experimenters for research work and contains: I. Theoretical justification of the main cases of the dynamics of airship II. Experiments with large ships and analysis of disasters with Roma and Shenandoah based on theoretical data. III. Forecasts for the future. New airship forms. The book is designed for theoretical engineers and exploiters of ship commanders and students of special technical universities,
