The K-1 was an experimental blimp designed by the United States Navy in 1929. Due to the inability to get Congressional approval for the construction of an airship the navy used the ploy of ordering a "universal" control car (type J/K) which could be used on the J-type airships from the Naval Aircraft Factory. An order was placed with Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company for an envelope to hold "experimental gases". To complete the deception, there is no record of the US Navy assigning a serial number to the K-1, Standard Army TC type tail fins were procured from Goodyear. Unlike past Navy blimps, the control car was not suspended from external cables, but was hung from cables attached to the top of the envelope, and the car was carried flush against the envelope as in modern blimps.

  • K-1 byla experimentální neztužená vzducholoď amerického námořnictva, postavená v roce 1931. Zvláštností (a důvodem k experimentu) byl pohon plynovou směsí, nesenou ve zvláštním balonetu o objemu 1470 m³ uvnitř trupu. Podobné řešení zvolili i Němci u své vzducholodi Graf Zeppelin. I přes nesporné úspěchy nebylo toto řešení ale dále používáno. Vzducholoď, vyprojektovaná v roce 1929 a spolehlivě létala od roku 1931 až do září 1940. Poté sloužila ještě pro cvičení a testy kotevních stožárů a zrušena byla v říjnu 1941. Vzducholoď K-1 měla objem 9100 m³, pohon obstarávaly dva motory Wright po 400 HP v samostatných gondolách. Zvláštností bylo zavěšení kabiny pomocí lan na okách připevněných na obal uvnitř trupu (vnitřní zavěšení). Kabina umožňovala desetičlenné osádce i spánek na lůžkách, protože vzducholoď byla plánována na lety trvající desítky hodin. (cs)

Unlike past Navy blimps, the control car was not suspended from external cables, but was hung from cables attached to the top of the envelope, and the car was carried flush against the envelope as in modern blimps. The control car carried bunks and a galley so that a relief crew could be carried, and was completely enclosed. The K-1 was also the first Navy blimp to have a taxi wheel. Like the Graf Zeppelin, the fuel for the K-1 was "blau gas" a mixture of combustible gases with the same density as air, which meant that the valving of gas as the fuel was consumed was not necessary. The only serious drawback was the tendency of the fuel to leak into the helium which then could not be run through the Lakehurst purification plant, which meant the expensive helium had to be vented to atmosphere when too contaminated or an overhaul was necessary.
