Question

Who invented Airship (rigid)?

Answer 1

Ferdinand von Zeppelin invented Airship (rigid)

Answer 2

rigid airship is a type of airship (or dirigible) in which the envelope is supported by an internal framework rather than by being kept in shape by the pressure of the lifting gas within the envelope, as in blimps (also called pressure airships) and semi-rigid airships.
Rigid airships are often commonly called Zeppelins, though this technically refers only to airships built by the Luftschifbau Zeppelin company.

Rigid airships were produced and relatively successfully employed from the beginning of the 1900s to the end of the 1930s; their heyday ended when the Hindenburg caught fire on May 6, 1937.
