What facilities would a steampunk Zeppelin fleet need?
Short answerLarge ventilated hangars, gantries and controlled moorings would be needed to position the airships for maintenance.
NotesThe fictional steam-powered fleet introduces a ventilation problem as well as the ordinary size of an airship hangar. Fans would remove steam from the enclosed space. Gantries would provide access to the hull and machinery. Guides along the ground and walls are proposed to hold the ship at a stable height and position while work is done.
