What gas do you use in airships today?
In their early history, buoyant airships (zepellins, blimps) were filled with hydrogen, a highly flammable gas. Since the Hindenburg disaster, hydrogen has been supplanted by helium, a much more expensive material, but one that is inert and hence much safer.
What are dirigibles?

How long is the wingspan of the Zeppelin Airship?
Airships didn't have wings, -so no wingspan. They were cigar or cylindrical in shape and had gasbags inside the structure to make them rise. -'Airships' actually had a skeletal metal structure, they were 'rigid' and often called so. -Don't mistake things like the Goodyear blimp for an airship. Blimps are a ballooon with no metal skeleton except around the control ans engine area.
