Abstract

An airship includes a gasbag, a cockpit and a first shaft body, where the gasbag is filled with a gas for lifting the airship; the gasbag and the cockpit are sequentially arranged along an axial direction of the first shaft body and fixed to the first shaft body, and there is a spacing between the gasbag and the cockpit; at least one of the gasbag and the cockpit is rotatably connected to the first shaft body; after the gasbag is filled with the gas for lifting the airship, any section of the gasbag in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the first shaft body is circular or annular; and the axial direction of the first shaft body is the same as a direction of gravity.
