French inventor Henri Giffard and Alberto Santos-Dumont constructed the first successful airship 1852.
The first successful airship was built in France by Henri Giffard in 1852. Blimp is another name for non-rigid airship or dirigible.
The first airship is generally considered to be the "La France," which was designed by Henri Giffard and made its first flight in 1852. It was a steam-powered dirigible that measured 44 meters in length and used a propeller for propulsion. Giffard's invention marked the beginning of powered flight in airships, paving the way for future developments in lighter-than-air aviation.
The blimp was invented before the airplane. In 1852 Henri Giffard successfully built the first powered airship and in 1903 The Wright brothers successfully built the first powered airplane.
