In this paper, bifurcation analysis of a full six degrees of freedom model of an airship is carried out both in unconstrained and constrained conditions. Equations of motion of airship are first modified to a suitable form and a standard as well as constrained bifurcation analysis performed with respect to airship control and design parameters. Typical modes of airship dynamics and regions of stable flights are identified via this analysis. Loss of stability and mode responsible for onset of instability at critical parameter values are also identified.
