The HM Airship R100 was a rigid airship, the successful private counterpart to the British government R101 project, in a competition intended to maximize innovation.
The R100 was built by the Airship Guarantee Company, a company created solely for the purpose, as a subsidiary of the armaments firm, Vickers. The managing director was Cdr Dennis Burney, and the design team was led by one of the finest aircraft engineers in history, Sir Barnes Wallis. The design team also included, as senior stress engineer, Nevil Norway, who found later fame as the novelist Nevil Shute.
