On the link https://erik-engheim.medium.com/calculating-lifting-capacity-of-airships-48df5cd7d147 there is a topic of Calculating Lifting Capacity of Airships - especially on hydrogen and helium
There is also a ''wiki'' page https://sites.google.com/site/airshipwiki/the-team linked to the SmallBlimps Commuinty forum at http://smallblimps.lefora.com. Whereas the forum is a place for discussing small blimps and the goal of personal airship ownership, this wiki will serve as a repository for any knowledge that discussion produces or uncovers.
I was not aware that in recent years there was a trend of floating aerospace vehicles. One of those is on the page: https://www.skylifter.eu/technology/ Skylifter is proud of its design: SkyLifters were conceived using proven lighter-than-air (LTA) principles and established aircraft operational practices. They are a new type of airship with a different shape, designed to be Omni-directional; effectively with no front, back or sides.
The Hybrid Air Vehicles HAV 304/Airlander 10 is a hybrid airship designed and built by British manufacturer Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV). Comprising a helium airship with auxiliary wing and tail surfaces, it flies using both aerostatic and aerodynamic lift and is powered by four diesel engine-driven ducted propellers.
Maybe a bit off-topic of the luft balloon there is Flying jelly fish robot: https://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2013/1125/Flying-jellyfish-robot-could-mean-big-things-for-future-surveillance-search-and-rescue-technology
Robo moth by the late dr. Charles Ellington: https://www.csmonitor.com/1996/1231/123196.feat.scitech.1.html and his life research on the topic of insect flying
