By the way, the current shape that I show is for the USS Akron, but slightly modified with what I call the Morelli rules which are discussed in that paper.

I still rely on a significant ground clearance to preserve the Cd of the airship, but added a slight camber to make a better view for the driver as well as to give a slight tuning out of the ground effect.
