The recent resurgence of interest in airships has resulted in a flood of literature on the subject, dealing with all conceivable aspects and going into considerable detail, both economic and technical. Nowhere however does the available knowledge appear to have been summarized, nor have there been many attempts to place airships in the general transportation system. The aim of this study has been to give as broad a coverage of the situation as possible, without going into any extended detail. In addition to summarizing the state of the art, it attempts to distinguish some of the obstructions to LTA transportation that may be due to conventional thinking. The survey also attempts to draw conclusions on the subject from the sum of present knowledge available in the literature, combined with the research group's own expertise in the fields of transportation economics and aircraft technology.
