The Goodyear ZWG is classified as a ZW Airborne Early Warning Airship. The ZWG-1, designed specifically for the national early warning network mission, was ordered but was subsequently replaced by a much-modified ZPG design as the ZPG-3W.[1] DevelopmentIn 1947 The ZWG designation was added in the naming scheme for airships. [2] In 1955 there was increased interest in the use of nonrigid airships as part of the national early warningnetwork. The ZWG-1, designed specifically for this mission, was ordered but was subsequently replaced by a much-modified ZPG design as the ZPG-3W.[3] Specifications Goodyear ZWG {{Aircraft specs |ref= |prime units?= |genhide= |crew= |capacity= |length m= |length ft= |length in= |length note= |span m= |span ft= |span in= |span note= |upper span m= |upper span ft= |upper span in= |upper span note= |mid span m= |mid span ft= |mid span in= |mid span note= |lower span m= |lower span ft= |lower span in= |lower span note= |swept m= |swept ft= |swept in= |swept note= |dia m= |dia ft= |dia in= |dia note= |width m= |width ft= |width in= |width note= |height m= |height ft= |height in= |height note= |wing area sqm= |wing area sqft= |wing area note= |swept area sqm= |swept area sqft= |swept area note= |volume m3= |volume ft3= |volume note= |aspect ratio= |airfoil= |empty weight kg= |empty weight lb= |empty weight note= |gross weight kg= |gross weight lb= |gross weight note= |max takeoff weight kg= |max takeoff weight lb= |max takeoff weight note= |fuel capacity= |lift kg= |lift lb= |lift note= |more general=
