Zeppelin NT D-LZZR at the airport in Friedrichshafen, 2003. The Zeppelin NT series are a family of semi-rigid airships, combining the design principles of rigid airships and blimps together. [7] The Zeppelin N07, the base model and most commonly constructed to date, are 75 metres (246 ft) long, with a volume of 8,225 cubic metres (290,500 cu ft).

A non-rigid airship, commonly called a blimp , is an airship (dirigible) [1] without an internal structural framework or a keel. Unlike semi-rigid and rigid airships (e.g. Zeppelins), blimps rely on the pressure of their lifting gas (usually helium, rather than flammable hydrogen) and the strength of the envelope to maintain their shape. Blimps ...
The great zeppelin airships of the twentieth century were rigid types. A non-rigid airship or blimp deflates like a balloon as it loses gas. The Goodyear blimps are still a common sight in the USA. A semi-rigid airship has a deflatable gas bag like a non-rigid but with a supporting structure to help it hold its shape while aloft.
