Airship Modeling: Find Data on Air Temperature, Density, and Pressure

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on obtaining data for air temperature, density, and pressure at various altitudes to model an airship mathematically. Participants recommend consulting "Introduction to Flight" by John Anderson for comprehensive tables of standard atmospheric values up to 50 km. Additionally, searching for "Standard Atmosphere Model" online yields multiple resources, including tables and calculators that provide the necessary data for these atmospheric variables.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of atmospheric science concepts, specifically air temperature, density, and pressure.
  • Familiarity with mathematical modeling techniques, including differential equations.
  • Basic knowledge of forces acting on airships.
  • Access to academic resources or databases for research purposes.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the "Standard Atmosphere Model" for detailed atmospheric data.
  • Study "Introduction to Flight" by John Anderson for foundational knowledge on atmospheric values.
  • Explore mathematical modeling techniques for airship dynamics.
  • Investigate online calculators that provide atmospheric data for various altitudes.
USEFUL FOR

Aerospace engineers, students in atmospheric science, and anyone involved in airship design or modeling who requires accurate atmospheric data for simulations.

Hi!
I am doing a simple mathematical model of an airship. I need the data for air temperature, density and pressure for different altitudes. Could anyone give me any web address where I could find these data?
I am not native to this field, so I don't know how do these quantities change with altitude. I was thinking about doing an approximate formulas upon these data.
I would like to write a system of forces and then get a differential equation. In the end I could get a formula for heigh change.
Regards,
Niko

If you have access to a university library, you could check out "Introduction to Flight" by John Anderson. There is a full table of standard atmospheric values up to about 50km in both English and Metric units.

It's probably somewhere online, but I'm not sure where.

Type ''Standard Atmosphere Model'' in Google. You will obtain several tables of data and calculators on line.
