Abstract:
Tail fins are basically needed for providing stability and achieving manoeuvrability. The present investigation deals in finding alternatives for the ways the fin will be mounted on airship to facilitate on site attachment. There needs to be improvement in the alignment mechanism to minimise bending under aerodynamic forces. Designing the fin for portability is the new concept of research. We as a part of curriculum has to undergo the project thesis work. We have to design appropriately sized tail fin considering all the design parameters like weight, cost and strength fulfilling the requirement of a fully functional airship.
