Vickers Continental Airship

Vickers designs also included a smaller rigid for continental mail and passenger carrying.

Continental Passenger and Mail Carrying Ship

The smaller of the passenger-type cruiser airships would carry passengers in a gondola slung below the hull. This ship was seen as an express passenger and mail carrier for trans continental traffic. As with the larger craft, this ship would have also been moored out on the mooring masts. All Vickers ships were to be fitted with the universal docking attachments to enable them to be moored out to the “Masterman” patent-type mooring mast.

Vickers Continental Airship Plan

Similar design ideas and changes were proposed for an integrated passenger accommodation to be attached to the hull.

Vickers Non-Rigid Passenger Cruiser

Plans were also produced for a smaller, non-rigid passenger-carrying cruiser for possible intercity flights. This idea would, of course, be cheaper to produce than the rigid airship plans
