    Description

    the length of the airship is about 51 cm, the width is about 16 cm. the height with a stand is 40 cm. The stand is made of metal. the model itself is made of wood. made in Soviet times.
    As follows from the chronicle, the first airship in the world, operated by the Frenchman Henri-Jacques-Girard, took to the skies over Versailles in September 1852. The length of the spindle-shaped form, equipped with a steam engine, reached 4.4 m. During that period, many countries began to create their own airships.
    V-1 - airship of soft type, designed and built in 1930-1932.
    In the fall of 1930, TsAGI workers began to develop a small soft-type airship for educational and training purposes. The airship was developed on the basis of the experience gained in the design of the airships "Moscow chemist-rubber worker" ("MHR") and "Komsomolskaya Pravda" ("USSR V-4"). The work was carried out outside of working hours. The airship gondola frame was made of duralumin profiles. The length of the gondola is 10 meters. Celluloid front light, side windows. The stabilizers and rudders consisted of a duralumin frame covered with fabric. The details and the shell of the airship were made in Moscow by the workers of the Dirigiblestroy, the Kauchuk plant and TsAGI, and assembled in March 1932 in a boathouse on Volkovoye Pole in Leningrad under the leadership of A.N. Flakserman, deputy head of the Dirigiblestroy. The airship made its first flight on April 9, 1932. The ship was commanded by V.L. Nizhevsky, the crew also included: assistant commander Volkonsky, second assistant commander Garakanidze (one of the designers of the airship), steering wheel student MAI Pankov, second steering wheel operator Obodzinsky. The airship was in flight for 34 minutes and, despite the unfavorable meteorological conditions of the flight and a completely new design, showed good flight qualities. condition on photo.
