Hello,
I'm researching zeppelin construction and there isn't that much info on these things.
I've got the following two sites as interesting sources of information:
The process of constructing the USS Los Angeles rigid airship by Zeppelin company...HD Stock Footage - YouTube
The Hindenburg’s Design and Technology
^ Click on the images and they expand, the zeppelin one is quite detailed!
However I also read somewhere that the designers used slide rulers to calculate all the stresses and strains at different conceivable flight loadings.
This interested me the most because I'm not at all familiar with how such conceivable flight situations are defined and then how someone might go about calculating the forces given the tiny pieces that these things are built from.
