ABSTRACT:
A flexible lighter-than-air gas-containing envelope carries at least one rigid structural member which provides a track for pivotal and slidable mounting of a gondola. The track extends along the underside of the airship from the nose section to a point aft of the midsection so that the gondola can be positioned from a point directly under the belly to one at the nose, causing the longitudinal axis of the envelope to rotate through 90.degree.. Remote controls actuate the rudders, ailerons and elevators as well as fully rotatable horizontal stabilizers and wings.
