Panamarenko's zeppelin? EDIT: but
He was Belgian...isn't that Euro as asked by Jimbuna??

^ @Aktungbby: Yes that's it. Now, what is the name of the airship

Just for completion, you won

There are two "Euro" airships that have been projected by the EU, but this one is from a single belgian artist, so it has not been an Euro joint effort, nor a national belgian thing.

@ u crank, yes it was somehow intended to fly, but it never did. The artist that built it phantasized of living in this airship high in the clouds, together with Brigitte Bardot. The latter never commented this.
The "airship" never really flew though there was one effort that almost completely destroyed it

The artist's name is "Panamarenko", real one was Henri Van Herwegen.
He built a lot of "flying machines", not really intended to fly. He was an artist, sculptor, poet, and interested in mechanics and science.

I saw it in 1972 on the Dokumenta 5 exhibition, it was impressing but at closer look a bit underwhelming

It's posted on the second photo of my post??!! THE AEROMODELLER This one drove me a little nuts. I knew I'd seen it previously... I'll have something shortly.

Ah yes you are right but you did not write it

As said before you won

On another photo there is OO-PL1 written on the envelope, here is one of the few tests that almost destroyed it. It was not a "Zeppelin" since there is no inner skeleton, instead it is more blimp-like, a blown-up envelope here filled with helium. I guess the engines did not even work, or if they would have made short work of this flimsy PVC hull.

There's also a more serious approach called the "Aeromodeller II": https://lynceans.org/wp-content/uplo...-converted.pdf

You,re right; I misspoke. I meant 'dirigible': ie a controllable airship
(engine equipped) vs an out and out 'blimp' A Zepellin is a ridgid dirigible as opposed to

Is it an animal?

It does look like one of these sea things who live on/at the great barrier reef.
