Abstract
An inflatable hull has an integral nose section comprising an array of trapezoidal fabric sections secured to form a frustro-conical volume. A nose cap is secured to the end of the frustrum with a conical array of tensioned ropes secured at their ends to the hull. The conical volume side walls at the nose taper to the cone axis at an angle such that a vertical load at the nose apex or an axial load on the region of the nose next to the apex does not bend, collapse or otherwise damage the nose section to provide a soft mooring attachment for the aerostat.
