This paper analyses the model of volume control of an innovative stratospheric airship concept designed to use hydrogen as a buoyant gas. This paper presents a mathematical model which allows modelling the airship volume changes with altitude. CFD evaluation at different altitudes has been performed. CIRA and Standard Atmosphere models have been compared.
