A vacuum airship includes an envelope and means for creating and controlling vacuum pressure within the envelope. The envelope includes skin and a frame for supporting the skin such that the frame is under compression and the skin is in tension during operation of the airship. The frame includes a plurality of rigid tube-like frame elements.
