How could lightning effect a trip in a blimp?

Lightning could pose a significant risk to a blimp by causing damage to the gas-filled envelope or surrounding structure, potentially leading to an uncontrolled descent or even a crash. To mitigate this risk, blimps are typically equipped with lightning protection systems such as metallic shielding or discharge mechanisms to safely redirect the electrical current away from critical components. Pilots are also trained to avoid flying in thunderstorm conditions to reduce the chances of encountering lightning strikes.


Why do pilots depend on the jet streams?

In simple terms - they save fuel !... If you're flying in the same direction as a jet-stream is flowing - it takes less energy to maintain the plane's speed.


Why cant planes fly when theres a thunderstorm?

airplanes cannot fly because of the turbulence created in the air which in turn causes variable pressures that is the lift here is not uniform, also the vulnerability of the plane and hence....


Can a strong wind stop an airplane?

Yes, and any pilot can tell you about flying into a wind but moving backwards with respect to the ground. But be certain you understand that the airplane keeps flying, it just doesn't move forward.


Why did all the planes take place during daylight hours?

Flying during daylight hours provides better visibility for pilots, making it easier to navigate and avoid potential obstacles. Additionally, daytime flights are generally more efficient in terms of fuel consumption and are considered safer than night flights.
