How are airships and modern day blimps the same?

Airships and modern-day blimps are both types of lighter-than-air vehicles that utilize buoyant gases, such as helium or hydrogen, to achieve lift. They are characterized by large gas-filled envelopes and can be steered and controlled in flight. Both serve similar purposes, including advertising, surveillance, and recreational activities, and they share a common design principle that relies on their ability to float in the atmosphere. However, modern blimps are typically non-rigid airships, meaning they do not have an internal framework, while some airships may be rigid or semi-rigid.
