Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical debate on the dirigibility of airships, focusing on the year 1870. It presents the author's proposed system of locomotion and steering, emphasizing the need for the apparatus to be an integral part of the balloon itself. The author argues against attaching the steering and propulsion mechanisms to the suspended nacelle, highlighting the greater efficacy of having them directly connected to the balloon. The book provides an in-depth exploration of the challenges in directing airships, including the influence of wind currents and the need to maintain the balloon's position within them. It also discusses the importance of using multiple propellers, each serving a distinct function in maneuvering the airship. The author's insights offer valuable lessons for understanding the complexities of airship navigation and the ongoing quest for efficient and effective dirigible technology.
