It is a Zeppelin NT (fourth of the modern Zeppelins to be build, number LZ-004) featuring a carbon fiber and aluminum internal structure. Zeppelins of old were not rigid (which implies an actual solid surfaced, non-flexible outer skin), all are considered semi-rigid. The term "blimp" is a concatenation of 'balloon, limp' similarly to 'dirigible' for steerable balloon.
@IncredibleWorldViews I thought the term "rigid" as pointed to "airships of old" meant that they had an internal structure/framework with the outer skin covering & interior gas bags. I've always thought ships such as Hindenburg, Graf Zeppelin, etc. were "rigid." Your definition defies that, which I find fascinating and actually, to make more sense.
@thetechroom I know Zeppelin factory i visit it in Friedrichhaffen (Germany): i take i little error in my comment: this is not a blimp but a hybride internat rigid structure+ external non rigid enveloppe (like blimp) : this built system is much more resistant for the same weight as a pure external structure like the Early Zeppelin and the US Akron and Macon (conception by german engineers bureau)
Awesome Footage.

Dear All,
I have some questions about psychology:
(1) Why do we love flying?
(2) Why do we like to ride an ariship?
(3) What is the enjoyment to fly on an airship comparing with that of a commercial jet?
(4) If your home is on an airship, will you like to live in the sky? and, Why?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

It's not a zeppelin (rigid structure) but a blimp (soft): it's not the same thing...
And this airship is very small in comparision with the early Akron and Macon US navy airships (zeppelin design)
