This is a complete list of Forlanini airships designed and built by the Italian pioneer Enrico Forlanini from 1900 to 1931 (posthumously). [1] These, like the German Groß-Basenach semi-rigid airships, were the first to have the gondola attached to the envelope, to reduce air resistance.
The word "Sidenhuset" was displayed in large letters on its hull. [6] The owner was "AB Luftskeppsreklam i Stockholm" (Airship Advertising Co).

The most notable C-type blimp was the C-5, which was flown to St. John's, Newfoundland, where it was to attempt a transatlantic flight in competition with the US Navy's heavier-than-air Curtiss NC flying boats.
