In the NHTSA report, the company said that the head air bag inflator may fail at the weld joint which can cause gas to leak from the inflator or cause a rupture. If an inflator ruptures, it may ...
The propeller air stream can be used to inflate the ballonets and so the hull. In some models, such as the Skyship 600 , differential ballonet inflation can provide a measure of pitch trim control. The engines driving the propellers are usually directly attached to the gondola, and in some models are partly steerable.
