zeppilin
The Zeppellin was a rigid framed airship with helium in huge bags. .
An airship uses helium which weighs less than air, and it cancels out the weight of the airship. Hydrogen weighs even less than helium, but it is combustible, so helium is preferred for use in airships.
LZ-129 Hindenburg crashed at Lakehurst, NJ on May 6, 1937.
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.

Dirigible, Zeppelin, or Blimps
The oldest operating airship is a Goodyear Blimp. The blimp is named the Spirit of Goodyear and has more than 41,000 flight hours.
The first successful airship was built in France by Henri Giffard in 1852. Blimp is another name for non-rigid airship or dirigible.
how about le airship the flying carpet cloud 9 - no not so much of a name,, i would like to give it an attractive memorable name..
Blimp is a non-rigid airship or a dirigible. The origin of the name blimp is not known but, it is believed to come from the British Class B Airship, B plus limp (non-rigid), created the word blimp.Airship, dirigible or Zeppelin.
