What type of airship has a metal frame that extends the entire length and height of the envelope?

The type of airship with a metal frame that extends the entire length and height of the envelope is known as a rigid airship. Unlike non-rigid airships, which rely on internal gas pressure to maintain their shape, rigid airships have a structural framework that supports the envelope and maintains its form. This design allows for greater control and stability in flight, as well as the ability to carry heavier payloads. The most famous examples of rigid airships include the Zeppelin and the Graf Zeppelin.
