As a professional pilot, I have one comment:

Thunderstorms, lightning, wind shear, moderate turbulence, hail, severe turbulence, mountain wave.

If airships were practical, safe and economical, we would have a sky full of them right now.

HULL STRUCTURE STRENGTH is critical in a hostile atmospheric environment.

Fun topic though Clarkie!

Thanks for the thread.

Airships are fascinating.

I hope one day we can get them to work.
