The effectiveness of the new generation airship’s tail-wing schemes and its effect on the aerodynamic characteristics of the airship

Abstract

When the airship moves in the air, the tail-wings play a very important role in controlling and maintaining stability. The choice of the tail-wing layout determines the design, manufacture, construction and aerodynamic shape of each type of airship. On the tail-wings extra wings, brake wings are also put to help the flight process of safety. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to study the effectiveness of the tail-wing layouts. The authors used the numerical method to study the aerodynamic characteristics of airships with different tail-wing layouts. The results obtained show the effectiveness of each type of tail-wing layout in ranges of angle of attack. This result can also be used for the calculation and design of the airship.
