Abstract:
      Objective To study the engineering application of low-cost composite materials in the small airship pod. Methods The methods included material selection,pod structural design,lay-out design,strength analysis and experimental. Results Low-cost composite materials were successfully applied in the medium and small airship pod. Conclusion Compared with the traditional aluminum pod,the weight of pod made of composite materials was reduced by about 40%. Besides,it had a better shape and simpler assembly with the same cost.
