A system for efficiently transporting hydrogen from where it can be economically made to where it is most needed including an airship having an exoskeleton made up of equal length spokes and equal sized hubs with six spokes terminating at each hub forming a set of hexagons. This set of connected hexagons forms the 3-dimensional shape of the ship by allowing various spokes to flex to different radii. A skin is attached external to the exoskeleton.
