Modeling and simulation of high altitude winged airship-payload system using 9-DOF multibody model

The paper presents longitudinal dynamics study of high altitude winged airship payload system with varying rigging angle to analyse trimmed flight using 9 DOF multibody modeling and simulation of winged airship-payload system. It investigates the effect of rigging angle and buoyancy effect due to high altitude on hybrid-airship vehicle’s longitudinal flight dynamics to carry payload at high altitude.
