The White Dwarf is a human-powered dirigible built in 1984 that set several world records.

The White Dwarf was commissioned and funded by comedian Gallagher, whose interest in airships was sparked by a radio-controlled flying watermelon prop he used in his stage act.

[1] It was constructed by Bill Watson, who was part of the team that built the Gossamer Albatross human-powered craft.

The aluminum fuselage is a truss design with a single pilot seat on top with a chain-driven pusher propeller, 64 inches in length, positioned in front of a rudder.

[1][3] The White Dwarf set several world records with pilot (and engine) Bryan Allen.
