An airship without a frame is called a "blimp." Unlike traditional rigid airships, blimps maintain their shape solely through internal pressure from the gas inside, typically helium or hydrogen. This design allows for greater flexibility and lighter weight, but also limits the airship's ability to carry heavy payloads compared to framed airships. Blimps are often used for advertising, surveillance, and recreational purposes.

Who invented the rigid-frame airship?
In 1897, the first rigid frame airship was built in Germany. The hull was made out of aluminum sheeting. The most successful rigid airship designer and builder was Ferdinand, Count von Zeppelin, with his first airship the LZ-1 built in 1900.
What is the most famous airship called?
the Zepppelin was the most famous airship
Which type of airship has a metal frame that extends the entire length and height of the envelope?
rigid
What is the shape of an airship without a frame for support called?
A blimp. The name comes from the British usage of calling such airships "limps". There were type A and type B limps; the type A wasn't used very much but the "B limps" were, and the name was soon compressed to "blimp".
What is the shape of an airship called?

What materials are needed to make a model airship?
You will need cardboard or balsa wood for the frame and gondolaÊof the airship. For the blimp itself you will need a mylar bag or some other kind of nylon material, as well as helium.

What aircraft did Ferdinand Von zeppelin build successfully?
Airship which were called Zeppelins.
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.
What name is given to the car that is suspended from the hull or body of an airship?
It is called a "control car".
