(Charles Brian) 1876 Hayward, Charles Brian Dirigible Balloons Produced by James Simmons "Dirigible Balloons" by Charles B. Hayward is an instructional publication written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a detailed guide on the principles and design of dirigible balloons, discussing their historical development, functionality, and the various technologies associated with lighter-than-air flight. It offers insights into both early experiments and the more advanced applications of dirigibles up to that time. At the start of the text, Hayward introduces the concept of aerial transportation, weaving through its rich history that dates back to myths and legends, such as Icarus and Daedalus. The opening delves into early attempts at achieving flight by figures like Leonardo da Vinci and the Montgolfier brothers, presenting not only theoretical frameworks but also practical considerations in constructing balloons. The text highlights the key principles of buoyancy, showcasing how dirigibles utilize gases like hydrogen for lift and detailing various historical designs and the technological advancements leading up to their use in an era when dirigibles were becoming increasingly prominent in both civilian and military contexts.
