Further Fictional Airships

By
Three more fictitious airships, this time one civilian airliner, one military troop ship and what looks like the large bastard offspring of the Hindenburg and HMS Belfast. 'Man I love them Zeppelins'.

They have a parasite aircraft flying boat as part of the passenger liner airship ? Intriguing idea. Reminds me of the parasite aircraft attempts with airships in WWI, and the interwar experimentation with onboard scoutplane hangars. Well done. :-)

What about USA 🇺🇸 airship? Army, navy, Air Force, marine, & cost guards? 🇺🇸

AT133 looks like the only one that would actually fly... If only it was fully silver.

I've always wondered... What's the giant balloon full of? I now most Airships used Hydrogen to raise since it's lighter than air, but is that giant balloon full of it, or is it hallow? I'm wondering cause I want to make my own fictional airships, but I need to know what spacer i'm working with.

The outer hull of a rigid airship is just there for the shape (and protects things inside). The real deal came from gas bags, which are separated from each other, placed inside the hull. It's them that people pumped lifting gas in and make the vehicle lighter than air

I have to say, I've always liked work that resembles my own. =) Love 'em all.

No more information on these anywhere?
Very cool stuff. Reminds me of the art on the boxes of the plastic models I assembled as a teenager. I wish the age of airships had lasted a little longer; I wouldn't mind seeing one of these drifting quietly overhead. :)
Are yuo at all interested in actual machinery aspects of the machine?

Yes, but from a purely amateur perspective.
All of my airship designs are meant to be credible and airworthy.

Rigid airships rule!!! Too bad the last one was disassembled in 1940 by those goose stepping Nazi B*stards!!! Awesome designs!
