de Marçay-Kluytmans Airship
![]() The "Dirigeable" was an unmanned proof-of-concept airship financed by Baron Edmond de Marçay together and designed by Dutchman Johan Kluytmans. It had its propeller positioned amidships and around the circumference of the two-part envelope, driven by an engine that was slung below the envelope. It was tested held by ropes, but was no success. Both de Marçay and Kluytmans went on to design more conventional aircraft.
