Which type of airship has the pilot and passenger car attached to the ship via cables?

The type of airship that has the pilot and passenger car attached to the ship via cables is known as a "cable-hung" or "suspended" airship. In this design, the gondola or car is not rigidly attached to the airship's envelope, allowing for some flexibility and movement. This configuration is often seen in certain types of dirigibles, enhancing the airship's aerodynamics and stability.

What is the difference between an airship and a hot-air balloon?

A hot air balloon does not have any mean of steering and does not have permanent flotation. An airship has a permanent means of flotation (lighter than air gas bags) and a means of propulsion.


Who invented the first blimp?

The first successful blimp, or non-rigid airship, was created by Ferdinand von Zeppelin, a German military officer, in the late 19th century. Zeppelin's airship, called the LZ 1, made its maiden flight in 1900. His designs would go on to influence the development of airships for years to come.


How was an airship different from a hot-air balloon?

An airship is a powered, steerable aircraft that uses engines or propellers for movement, while a hot-air balloon is a non-powered aircraft that relies on wind currents for direction. Airships also have a rigid structure to maintain their shape, while hot-air balloons are typically made of fabric and filled with hot air to become buoyant. Additionally, airships are typically larger and can carry more passengers or cargo than hot-air balloons.
