Could we land helicopters on airships equiped with helipads?
Certainly, in the 20′ and even into the 30’s airplanes made successful landings on TOP of airships, as well as connecting to various hooks under the ship, and if a biplane could do it, it would be even easier for a helicopter. But as Shabba said regarding aircraft carrier airships,”There’s no practical use for it.” But it would be way cool to see. The ship would have to be really large to support the weight and seeing a really big airship theses days would be even better. Fans of airships should check out science fiction writer Philip Jose Farmer, for a while he had an absolute fixation on them and even wrote a few stories about alien creatures that were living airships.Huge things that gave birth to baby blimps.
