One advantage of airships is that for vertical lift(the force that keeps the ship airborne),they use a balloon that floats rather than an engine.Airplanes and helicopters use engines for both vertical lift and horizontal movement,but airships use engines solely for horizontal movement.So,airships use less fuel than a typical aircraft-thus making their fuel costs more economical.
An airship is a type of aircraft that flies using a very large balloon filled with a lighter-than-air gas. Airships were an important means of air transportation before the 1940s but are little used today, having been largely replaced by airplanes and helicopters.However,some aeronautical engineers believe that airships could become popular again because they offer a number of advantages over airplanes and helicopters.
Another advantage of airships is that they can be used in hard-to-reach locations.Unlike airplanes, airships do not require a long runway for takeoff and landing because of their ability to lift off and land vertically.The only other aircraft capable of ascending into the sky by going straight up and descending straight down to the ground is the helicopter,which can carry only a small amount of weight.Airships,meanwhile,are able to carry very heavy loads.As a result,airships could do jobs that neither airplanes nor helicopters can do,such as carrying heavy logs from forests to distribution centers.
Finally,airships could even be used to replace satellites.Currently, satellites are launched into Earth's orbit carying all kinds of equipment important in telecommunications or in surveying large areas of Earth's surface for military purposes.Since airships can also rise high above the surface and stay there without refueling for a significant amount of time,they could provide services similar to those provided by satellites,and at a considerably cheaper cost.
Both the reading and the lecture discuss about airship which is replaced by the airplane and helicopter. The author explains three advantages of airships; however, the lecturer believes that airships have several demerits which do not let to use them in the future anymore.
First of all, the passage claims that due to the fact that airships use less fuel, it is more economical to use them. Conversely, the speaker illustrates that the airships need special gases such as hydrogen or helium in order to lift. Hydrogen catches fire easily; so, it is dangerous to use it. For example, some accidents are reported in the past that show some airships destroyed due to using hydrogen. Moreover, helium, however it is safe, is a rare gas, and obtaining it is difficult. Therefore, it is too challenging to provide a balance between safety and cost.
Secondly, the text states that airships can transport heavy loads that is a positive point for them against airplanes and helicopters. On the other hand, the professor rejects the claim by saying that airships would be crashed at the time of the loading. To put logs on the airship, it must be steady. However, airships have light weights which does not let them be resistible to windy weather. A slight wind can break the airship balance during the loading of the freights. Therefore, using airships for carrying heavy loads is challenging.
Finally, the text explains that airships can be used as a satellite for carrying essential equipment for telecommunications. Nevertheless, the lecturer refutes it because she believes that the only type of airships which are used in this application, just can go up to 40KM which is not enough. Additionally, if they can go upper, they need to refueled continuously in order to save their balance against the wind. Not only are there no adequate tools that provide continuous fuel for them, but also it is not economical.
