The invention relates to a super-rigid hybrid airship having a modular structure, which comprises a central tube (1) having a diameter of between 5 to 10% of the diameter of the airship, structural rings (2) surrounding and preferably concentric with the central tube and connected to the tube by bolts (3), an external cover (4) made from thin metal sheets, interspersed with composite resins and fibbers which is pressurized and prestressed by light gases and which is rigid, conductive, non- combustible and impermeable to gases, balloons (6) filed with hydrogen and disposed in structural sections defined by neighbouring structural rings (2), at least two interconnected cuffs (7) inflated by atmospheric air serving as operational ballast and ensuring weight, pressure and volume balance of the airship, wherein the dimensions and quantity of airship components depend on the size of the airship of such a modular design. The modular structure of the airship allows vertical construction by assembling modularly consecutive airship modules defined by sections of a central tube (1 ) and structural rings (2) substantially vertically along the length of the airship to form the front end part and the back end part of the airship, filing the front end part and the back end part of the airship with light gases to make them float, and connecting the front end part and the back end part of the airship together. Preferably the airship comprises among others a blower system (12) for dispersing air, arranged on the centreline of the top layer so that the air is blasted from centreline to right and left of the airship, as well as wings (18) arranged at each side of the fixed sections (13) and optionally comprising at its ends thrust means (19) such as engines and propellers or turbo-propellers.
