Propeller driven dirigible has steerable propellers on each end to aid maneuvering

摘要

The propeller driven dirigible airship has propeller drives (1,2) at each end of the hull. The propeller axes are normally parallel to the hull axis, but can be pivoted (7) to allow tilting of the drive axis for steering. The propeller axes can tilt about a vertical axis (8-8) and a horizontal axis (9-9).
