You says that they are important. They're big, sluggish and fragile.
Today's blimps are not filled with flammable hydrogen gas like Hindenburg was, but normally the non-flammable helium.
Well obviously not. The technology needed was just not available back then. They didn't even have running water.
It evolved until the Hindenberg Disaster, point at which it was used as a means for commercial and long distance travel, however it was dangerous and the blimps were usually too large, thus too difficult to maneuvre. Since the 1970's, blimps have been used for promotional purposes at sporting events, mostly in North America
yes they did the Hindenburg was a blimp before ww2 so they did exist however they would of not seen that much combat time considering there were more efficient means of combat
The French Armee de L"air, which was essentially in home guard or defensive mode, did not, to my knowledge, use Blimps in world war II. after the capitulation they were essentially in a puppet-defensive mode. They did employ all kinds of flying boats- heavy duty seaplanes such as the Latecoere which even had retractable counterweights on the wingtips- and six engines. these were intended primarily as Air Liners- transports, not combat craft.
No. Blimps require atmosphere.
There are some companies which produce remote controlled blimps. West Coast Blimps & Electronics, Yoshioka Model Factory, DraganFly Innovations Inc., and Model Airships and Blimps produce remote controlled blimps
blimps are oval shaped
Blimps are obsolete nowadays. Blimps were always a danger to air travel, as well as its passengers. An example of the dangers of blimps was the Hindenburg tragedy.
Modern blimps are used almost exclusively for advertising and/or sightseeing. Historically, blimps have also been used in military reconnaissance roles.

Blimps are used to studie air pollution.
miley owns 5 kca blimps
Helium has a low density and causes balloons and blimps to float
Blimps use lighter than air gasses namely hydrogen or helium.
Yes, lithium can be used in the form of lithium-ion batteries in blimps for electrical power. These batteries are lightweight and have a high energy density, making them suitable for air transportation applications.
