Some applications of buoyancy systems and parawings to replace conventional and proposed transportation systems.
An exploratory study has been conducted to assess the performance potential of buoyant airships and parawings in short-haul passenger transportation. Results show that such systems can be used effectively, from a performance standpoint, in a VTOL or STOL mode of operation. A supplementary assessment of potential applications of such vehicles is examined, with a brief look at economic factors and an examination of missions for which they might be effectively used.

Validation of CFD Codes for Parawing Geometries in Subsonic to Supersonic Flows
Computational Fluid Dynamic studies of a rigid parawing at Mach numbers from 0.8 to 4.65 were carried out using three established inviscid, viscous and independent panel method codes. Pressure distributions along four chordwise sections of the wing were compared to experimental wind tunnel data gathered from NASA technical reports. Results show good prediction of the overall trends and magnitudes of the pressure distributions for the inviscid and viscous solvers. Pressure results for the panel method code diverge from test data at large angles of attack due to shock interaction phenomena. Trends in the flow behavior and their effect on the integrated force and moments on this type of wing are examined in detail using the inviscid CFD code results.
