Joseph Spiess (10 September 1838 – 31 March 1917) was a French engineer who filed a patent for a rigid airship in 1873, the year before Ferdinand von Zeppelin first outlined his own design.
However, Spiess's machine was not actually constructed until 1913, and was the first and only French rigid airship.
