The 500 Pa in my spreadsheet comes from Zepplin-NT (5 millibar overpressure). Airlander uses about twice as much overpressure. This is just from Wikipedia
I'm sure "pumping out" is fast and easy because you are just releasing pressure through a valve. The old Goodyear blimp used its propwash...
I'm...shocked. Would not have expected a temporarily concealed drilled hole to be likely.
So now there are two issues:

Guys with the conspiracy theories, come on already. So how would that look different from a micrometeor impact hole? Why would anyone sabotage their own mission with something that is easily fixed anyway?
Or it could use it's propulsor, COM shift, and elevator to control altitude. That's why I had you make the propulsor swivel 180 degrees :).
The primary job of the ballonet (as I understand it) is to maintain a constant gauge pressure in the envelope. I guess that you have the option of...
Hello, markp.

Note that I only model the first layer of the atmosphere (one lapse rate).
Regarding pressure...
Is there a way to map my joystick throttle to the hover engine, rather than the main engine? If not in Orbiter, then perhaps in Joy2Key. Any ideas?
Thanks.
