no, but you need engines to control the airship (AKA blimp)

Yes.. It can fly for a shor period of time by using the cheat code -- AIRSHIP
Airships and Zeppelins and Observation balloons were used successfully in WW1. They were filled with Hydrogen which is the lightest gas but is also explosive when ignited. (Later, airships began to use Helium) The airship flew because it was filled with a gas that was lighter than the air so that it "floated" in the sky. This is the same theory that makes boats float. For an airship to fly, the weight of the airship and the hydrogen contained it in has to be less than the weight of the Air it displaces. In other words, the Airship takes up space in the air and if it weighs less than the air, then it will fly. For it to move forward, the airship had propellors to push it forward. It also had control surfaces on the tail to turn it and help it climb or dive.
they flew the first hot air balloon
