ballonet is an
inflatable bag
inside the
outer envelope of an
airship which, when inflated,
reduces the
volume available for the
lifting gas, making...

internal bags
containing air (
ballonets). As
altitude is increased, the
lifting gas
expands and air from the
ballonets is
expelled through valves to maintain...

Contained within the

-
changes of
altitude are
compensated for by
pumping air into
internal ballonets (air bags) to
maintain the overpressure.
Without sufficient overpressure...
