What is it that makes a Zeppelin unique?

The most important feature of Zeppelin's design is a rigid aluminium alloy skeleton, made of rings and longitudinal girders. The advantage of this concept is that the ships can be built much larger, which enables them to lift heavier loads and be equipped with more numerous and powerful engines than non-rigid airships commonly known as blimps, which rely on a slight overpressure within the single gasbag to maintain their shape.
