ABSTRACT:
A thermal airship including an elongate gas envelope of a soft material providing a hull for the airship with tail members, a gondola carried below the hull, a power propelling system supported by the hull and a system for pressurizing the soft envelope through an inflation opening with the gondola adjoining the hull surrounding the inflation opening in a sealed manner. The system for pressurizing includes a blower mounted on the hull extending through the opening and directing a flow of air past a burner within the interior of the envelope and a lateral baffle between the burner and blower deflecting an amount of the air from the blower laterally directly into the envelope interior.
