The person who compiled the list of SL airships has done a fine piece of work.

The top speed of SL-1 is anomalous with the other ships. It should be double checked and cited. - fbfree

Thanks for the compliment!I have checked two of my reference books and they differ: Griehl and Dressel give the lower figure, Ventry and Kolesnik claim 42.4km/hr. I suspect actual power rating of these early engines was lower than the rated power, and also this first ship had greater drag than the later ones Benvenuto (talk) 03:15, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
