The first Goodyear blimp, called Pilgrim, flew in 1925.
There are several goodyear blimps located around the world. Here are the 4 main blimps goodyear owns and operates there are some other goodyear blimps around the world that are contract to an aiship company flying as goodyear blimps Spirt of America Located in Carson Ca. Spirt of Goodyear located in Suffield township Oh. Spirt of Inovation located in Popano beach Fl. Ventra located in Sao paulo Brazil
there are three goodyear blimps so i can really answer that you can find it here im sure http://www.goodyearblimp.com
Some of Goodyear's blimps are powered by 2 - 210hp Continental Piston engines just like you would find on a small Piper or Cessna. Apparently some of the new ones have two small turbines. There are quite few of these blimps owned by Goodyear.
Goodyear is well known for its blimps. In order for these blimps to float, they contain a lighter than air gas. Hydrogen is to dangerous for this purpose, so helium is used. Thus, helium is the noble gas used by Goodyear.
Size and type of gas contained in the envelope.
Several blimps (Goodyear and Fuji) are used at sporting events and can be seen either live or on TV.

The blimps were being used for aerial defenses. They were litterally an obstruction to flying planes trying to attack the landing army.
Blimps come in all shapes and sizes, for comparison, the 1972 Goodyear Blimp's maximum weight was 12,840 lbs.
There were blimps over the beaches to impede low flying German aircraft. In fact the Luftwaffe was conspicuous by it's total absence all day.
Boyle's Law is used in flying blimps, as it describes the inverse relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature. By controlling the pressure of the gas inside the blimp, pilots can adjust the volume and thus control the buoyancy of the blimp.
The Spirit of America is the name given to several jet-propelled record breaking cars.
