I am always fascinated by airships, and you did a good work, but I don't think it's functional. When the engines start do drag, the balloon will be pulled backwards and down, and could even collide with the propellers. The size of the baloon is too small in relation to the cabin and engines. And there are no connections between the cabin and the baloon, usually people went inside the baloon for repairs or maintenance, connections ensured gas refill or ballasting, if you used blaugas for fuel you had to have another connection etc.

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback! @ bugatti: You are right. I originally thought the propellers were just for orientating the vessel, not for thrust. That would make the ship a gas bag balloon and the traveling would be with the wind currents... But the more I think of it I'd like to have the ship more or less able to go where the driver pleases, not just for ballooning. AND the balloon is too small to lift that payload, I know. I may have to redesign the ship to have a rigid construction of the cabin and balloon. But not gondola-like as in the rigid airships (such as zeppelins). But thanks for your points. I take them into consideration.
