What else can I help you with?
What is helium mostly found in?
In helium balloons and blimps. Helium is lighter than air. So balloons or blimps filled with helium will float or rise up
What makes helium great to use in balloons and blimps?
Helium's density is less than the density of air, so it floats in air.
What does helium have in it that makes it float?
Helium is lighter than air. Hence balloons or blimps filled with helium will float.
How does helium help flight?
Helium is lighter than air. So balloons or blimps filled with helium will rise up and float.
What are the examples of air?
The most obvious are being used every day. Air transportation includes: Airplanes, Helicopters, Hot Air Balloons, Blimps, Rockets, Kites, Parachutes and Birds.
What are limitations of blimps dirigibles and hot air balloons?
Limitations of blimps, dirigibles, and hot air balloons include their susceptibility to weather conditions, limited speed and maneuverability, and dependence on wind patterns for navigation. They also have low payload capacities and are typically more expensive to operate compared to other modes of transportation.
Is helium used in hot air balloons?
No, it is not. "Regular" air is used, and it is heated. Hot air is less dense than cooler air, and it will rise. If hot air is trapped in an envelope, it will give lift to the envelope and an attached payload.

How are hot air balloons blimps and dirigibles similar?
All three are types of lighter-than-air aircraft that rely on buoyancy to fly. They also have a balloon-like structure filled with a gas that is less dense than the surrounding air. However, hot air balloons specifically use heated air to generate lift, while blimps and dirigibles are powered by engines for propulsion.
How many type aircraft?
There are "lighter-than-air" craft which are known as blimps or balloons, "heavier-than-air" craft which are divided into fixed-wing (airplanes) and rotary wings (helicopters).
List several types of lighter than and heavier than air vehicles?
Heavier: Airplanes Gliders Helicopters Lighter: Blimps Balloons
What is the difference between a airplane and an aircraft?
An aircraft is any flying machine including blimps, helicopters, hot air balloons, etc. An airplane is a fixed wing aircraft like an airliner or personal General Aviation plane.
