A rigid airship which comprises a substantially rigid outer shell (1), which outer shell substantially seals the internal space of the airship form the external environment. The internal space is partitioned (2, 4) into compartments to provide at least one substantially sealed pressure cell (3), which may be filled with gas to provide buoyancy. The rigid airship may take different forms including mono- and multi-hulled structures in which the pressure cells are connected to one another. Temperature and pressure in the compartments may be maintained and controlled by control systems. |
