Would it be possible to armor a Zeppelin?

Best Answers

No chance, I'm afraid - even just adding a couple of layers of Kevlar will increase the weight dramatically. All you could hope for is armoring the critical parts of the Zeppelin where payload, Operators etc. are located, and even that will have bad effects on flight performance. read more

Of course they can have heavy armor, but you need to increase the size to achieve that. This is why even vacuum airships are possible if they are big enough. You just need to take advantage of the volume/surface ratio. read more
