Are engine essential to keep a blimp in the airwhy or why not?
A blimp gets lift from being filled with helium, which is lighter than air. A blimp floats on air because of this. They rely on the engines to move, but not to stay aloft.
Are engines essential to keep the blimp in the air why or why not?
Yes because what will hapen if the essential were gone it will be a tragedy.
Are engines essential to keep blimp in the air?
No. helium gas inside the blimp keeps it aloft. Just like a helium makes balloons fly!!

What has more mass a hot air balloon or a blimp?
blimp
What best describes the force of atmospheric pressure on a blimp?
An air compressor blowing gasses into the blimp is what causes the air pressure in the blimp. These gases are lighter than air.
What is buoyancy and how does it affect a blimp?
buoyancy is a measure of how well an object will float in a given medium, eg: a boat in water. similarly for a blimp, the blimp is the object, the air is the medium. if it is not buoyant enough, it will not 'float' in the air, aka fly
Why do planes need air but shuttles don't?
Airplanes utilize either internal combustion engines, which mix air and gasoline for their power, or, they have jet engines that cram air into the engines, and spray kerosene into the air flow. Space shuttles have rocket engines. The take their air with them. Well, oxygen, actually.
What do jet engines need to fly?
jet engines require air, compression, and combustion to make it work
How does a blimp stay up in the air?
Helium Buoyancy--- This is the same thing that allows boats to float on water. The boat displaces a volume of Water and if the weight of the Boat is lighter than the weight of the displace water, then it floats. This is same with Blimps or Dirigibles. The Blimp is filled with Helium. The volume of the helium inside the blimp is lighter than the weight of the voume of air that it displaces so it rises. When the blimp reaches the higher altitude where the air is thinner (and therefore lighter) then the blimp will stop rising. At this altitude the weight of the blimp EQUALS the weight of the air it displaces.
Element used in the goodyear blimp and other dirigibles?
The element that is used in the Goodyear blimp and other dirigibles is helium. This gas is lighter than air and causes the blimp to rise.
What causes air pressure inside a blimp?
earth's gravity
