Airships & Blimps
Airships, also known as dirigibles, are aircrafts that have propulsion and steering systems and use lighter-than-air gases such as hydrogen or helium to stay buoyant. The two basic types of airships are the rigid airship, which has an internal frame, and the nonrigid airship, or blimp, which has several air diaphragms to maintain its shape. Rigid airships, which once carried freight and passengers, are no longer used today. Nonrigid airships still exist, but are mostly used for advertising at stadium events or for supplying TV audiences with aerial views of sports competitions. This section features resources on airships and blimps.
