A scheme for using cycloidal rotors to ensure high maneuverability of airships has been developed. High maneuverability indicators (turn on the spot, side slip, forward/backward movement, wind load parrying, operational change of flight altitude without the use of ballasting) of the airship with two cycloidal propellers was confirmed experimentally. A design of an airship with cycloidal propellers without a tail unit, providing a lifting capacity of the airship of 3 tons and the possibility of loading and unloading without mooring devices was proposed.
