IPA（発音記号）

日本語の意味

硬式飛行船: 内部または外部の剛体構造（骨格）によって形状が維持され、内部のガス圧を利用して車体を硬化させることなく運用される飛行船。通常、他のタイプの飛行船とは異なり、複数の冗長なガスバッグを備えている。

At the airshow, spectators cheered as a restored rigid drifted gracefully across the sky, a reminder of the golden age of airships.

意味（1）

(aviation) An airship whose shape is maintained solely by an internal and/or external rigid structural framework, without using internal gas pressure to stiffen the vehicle (the lifting gas is at atmospheric pressure); typically also equipped with multiple redundant gasbags, unlike other types of airship.

The rigid could reach the greatest sizes and speeds of any airship, but was expensive to build and bulky to store. Rigids fell out of favor after the R101 and Hindenburg disasters made the type seem unsafe to the travelling public.

意味（2）

A bicycle with no suspension system.
