    Abstract: An airship/spacecraft, which, in a preferred embodiment, uses its lifting gas (64) as fuel for thrusters, which may be of the turbo-type or rocket type, or both, to achieve transition to space flight. The airship aspect has gas retaining structures (61) that can withstand internal and external pressure and can change in volume and shape. The gas retaining structures (61) may be compartmentalized with a folded diaphragm membrane (63) and also configured as pressure vessels. The spacecraft aspect provides control, power, services, and space for missions of the airship/spacecraft. The best mode includes a turbo-rocket thruster in which the turbine compressor is used to intake and compress a gaseous fuel for combustion with a stored oxidizer injected into the compressed gaseous fuel stream. The compressor stage (6) is driven by the turbine stage (7), which is driven by burning gaseous fuel passing across the turbine blades (13). The burned gases are then expanded through an exhaust nozzle and thereby ejected to produce reaction thrust.

    Abstract translation: 在优选实施例中,飞艇/航天器,其使用其提升气体(64)作为推进器的燃料,其可以是涡轮型或火箭式或两者,以实现向太空飞行的过渡。 飞艇方面具有能够承受内部和外部压力并且可以改变体积和形状的气体保持结构(61)。 气体保持结构(61)可以用折叠的隔膜(63)进行间隔,并且还被构造为压力容器。 航天器方面为飞艇/飞船任务提供控制,动力,服务和空间。 最佳模式包括涡轮增压推进器,其中涡轮压缩机被用于吸入和压缩用于燃烧的气体燃料与被注入到压缩气体燃料流中的储存的氧化剂。 涡轮级(7)驱动压缩机级(6),该涡轮级通过燃烧通过涡轮叶片(13)的气体燃料来驱动。 然后将燃烧的气体通过排气喷嘴膨胀,从而喷射以产生反作用力。

    Abstract: An airship/spacecraft, which, in a preferred embodiment, uses its lifting ga s (64) as fuel for thrusters, which may be of the turbo-type or rocket type, o r both, to achieve transition to space flight. The airship aspect has gas retaining structures (61) that can withstand internal and external pressure and can change in volume and shape. The gas retaining structures (61) may be compartmentalized with a folded diaphragm membrane (63) and also configured as pressure vessels. The spacecraft aspect provides control, power, services, a nd space for missions of the airship/spacecraft. The best mode includes a turbo - rocket thruster in which the turbine compressor is used to intake and compre ss a gaseous fuel for combustion with a stored oxidizer injected into the compressed gaseous fuel stream. The compressor stage (6) is driven by the turbine stage (7), which is driven by burning gaseous fuel passing across th e turbine blades (13). The burned gases are then expanded through an exhaust nozzle and thereby ejected to produce reaction thrust.
