Abstract
The paper is concerned with the dynamic modelling of the unconventional remotely-piloted Lighter-Than-Air vehicle patented by Nautilus S.p.A. and the Polytechnic of Turin. The airship mathematical model is based on a 6 degree-of-freedom nonlinear model referring to the basic Newtonian mechanics. Emphasis is placed on those innovative and peculiar aspects of the dynamic modelling, such as aerodynamics, buoyancy and inertial features.
Paper written with financial support of Nautilus S.p.A.
