  2. Semi-rigid airship - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-rigid_airship

    The outer shape of the airship is maintained by gas pressure, as with the non-rigid "blimp". Semi-rigid dirigibles were built in significant quantity from the late 19th century but in the late 1930s they fell out of favour along with rigid airships. No more were constructed until the semi-rigid design was revived by the Zeppelin NT in 1997.

    The main types of airship are non-rigid, semi-rigid and rigid airships. [3] Non-rigid airships, often called "blimps", rely solely on internal gas pressure to maintain the envelope shape. Semi-rigid airships maintain their shape by internal pressure, but have some form of supporting structure, such as a fixed keel, attached to it.

    The Zeppelin NT is a semi-rigid airship. It is unlike both the original Zeppelins that had a rigid skeleton and non-rigid blimps. It has an internal triangular truss made of graphite-reinforced plastic and three longitudinal girders made of welded aluminium which connect the triangular elements along the length of the frame.

    The Giant (Russian: Гигант) was a semi-rigid airship designed by engineers Alexander Kovanko and Athanasius Shabsky. It was the largest dirigible built in Russia. In subsequent years, no airships of this size were created. The largest airship built in Russia, the SSR W-6 (Osoaviakhim), had a volume of only 18 500 m 3.

    The Goodyear RS-1 was the first semi-rigid airship built in the United States. The dirigible was designed by chief aeronautical engineer and inventor, Herman Theodore Kraft of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company for the United States Army Air Service in the late 1920s. Goodyear built only one airship of this type.
