ilmavaunujärjestelmät
Ilmavaunujärjestelmät, often translated as "airship systems" or "dirigible systems," encompass the various components and technologies that enable the operation of airships or dirigibles. These systems are crucial for the lift, propulsion, control, and payload carrying capabilities of these lighter-than-air aircraft.
The primary system for lift is the envelope, which contains a lifting gas. Historically, hydrogen was used,
Propulsion systems typically consist of engines, propellers, and steering mechanisms. Engines, often internal combustion or electric,
Modern ilmavaunujärjestelmät also include advanced navigation and communication equipment, weather monitoring tools, and systems for managing
