ABSTRACT:
Airships for transporting liquid have storage tanks located amidship with their inlet conduits opening through the forward part of the upper deck enabling the tanks to be filled while an airship is moored to a special tower. The tank contents are discharged through outlet conduits that are lowered to the receiving station. Where different liquids are to be carried, the tanks are arranged to minimize ballasting problems during loading and unloading. In one embodiment, the tank has a plurality of outlet conduits and each is provided with a nozzle. The several nozzles are secured to a holder that is raised and lowered with the conduits.
