On the basis of equilibrium configuration of the oating airship subjected to the ascent helium buoyancy and gravity,the structural analysis procedure was developed and the computation models were presented for the airship. Then the systematic numerical analysis was carried out for a 25 m long airship,the comparison of principal stress of envelope was performed between the nonlinear numerical analysis result and the engineering elastic theory result. The structural performances were evaluated thoroughly. Finally,the reasonable structural systems were proposed.
