Paper examines both airplane and airship as cargo carriers; to compare planes with each other, term called Ultimate Range has been introduced, which is range possible in still air, if all useful load were given up to fuel; it is shown that fact that airship can fly at moderate speeds well below those of airplanes, makes possible higher delivery factors for very long voyages than for planes.
