Changes in weight of fuel on board, due to fuel consumption. This was a challenge especially in the large historic airships like the Zeppelins . For example, on a flight from Friedrichshafen to Lakehurst, the rigid airship LZ 126 , built in 1923-24, used 23,000 kg gasoline and 1300 kg of oil (an average consumption of 290 kg/100 km).
Capacity: 200 kg (441 lb) water ballast, plus 7.8 kg (17 lb) in tail-unit tank; Length: ... Max takeoff weight: 525 kg (1,157 ... Aircraft of comparable role ...
There are three ballast tanks in each wing (total capacity 178 litres) and an optional 7.8 litre tank in the fin. The outer two tanks are filled from the wing-tip. 15m tips are available. It has been designed to carry more ballast than the Ventus 2 and so its gross weight is 75 kg greater than its predecessor.
Ballast is dense material used as a weight to provide stability to a vehicle or structure. Ballast, other than cargo , may be placed in a vehicle, often a ship or the gondola of a balloon or airship , to provide stability .
Fixed equipment and services considered an integral part of the aircraft. Fixed ballast (if present). Closed system fluids (such as hydraulic fluids). For small aircraft, the MEW may include unusable fuel and oil. The Specification MEW excludes the weight of: All fuel (both usable and unusable). Potable water, anti-ice, and chemicals in toilets.

The ASG 29 has plain flaps and winglets.The structure is a complex composite of carbon, aramid and polyethylene fibre reinforced plastic. This permits a light structure with the strength to carry up to 170 liters (322 pounds) of water ballast, thus permitting the widest possible range of wing loadings for weak and strong soaring weather.
