Such aircrafts have two different modules to balance the weight of aircraft; aerostatic module and aerodynamic module. Both these modules are to be treated separately for estimation of the mass budget of propulsion systems and required power. In the present work, existing relationships</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> of aircraft and airship are reviewed for its further application for these modules. </span><span style="font-size: medium;">Limitations of such relationships are also disussed and it is precieved that it will provide a strating point </span><span style="font-size: medium;">for better understanding of design anatomy of such aircraft.</span></span></p></div> ER -
