Why airship can fly?

Airships can fly due to their buoyancy, which is achieved by filling large gas cells with lighter-than-air gases, such as helium or hydrogen. These gases provide lift by displacing a greater weight of air than the weight of the airship itself. The airship is propelled forward by engines, and its altitude can be controlled by adjusting the amount of gas or by using ballast. This combination of buoyancy and propulsion allows airships to ascend, descend, and navigate through the air.

Why fly in a easterly direction?

Flying in an easterly direction can be advantageous for several reasons. It allows aircraft to take advantage of prevailing winds, particularly the jet stream, which can reduce flight time and fuel consumption.

This route is often preferred for flights between North America and Europe, for example, due to these benefits.
