In the first question I posted here on Worldbuilding Stack Exchange, I asked if lifting gas would be more effective on a world with 1/3 of Earths gravity but with the same atmospheric composition as here on earth. To my surprise I learned that there would be no difference. I admit I was disappointed;... (more) |

But one question that has been burning inside me recently is how small can an airship, specifically a non rigid ... (more) |

Lifting Gas in a world with 1/3 of earth's gravity As many of us probably know airships were one of the great forms of transportation in the 20th century but a great hindrance to their development was weight. In a world I am currently constructing the gravity is 1/3 as that on earth so metals and material are lighter but have the same strength as on ... (more) |
