2. Blimp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blimp

   A non-rigid airship, commonly called a blimp , is an airship (dirigible) [1] without an internal structural framework or a keel. Unlike semi-rigid and rigid airships (e.g. Zeppelins), blimps rely on the pressure of their lifting gas (usually helium, rather than flammable hydrogen) and the strength of the envelope to maintain their shape. Blimps ...

3. Goodyear Blimp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodyear_Blimp

   The term blimp itself is defined as a non-rigid airship—without any internal structure, the pressure of lifting gas within the airship envelope maintains the vessel's shape. From the launch of the Pilgrim in 1925 to the retiring of the Spirit of Innovation in 2017, Goodyear generally owned and operated non-rigid airships in its global public ...

4. Airship - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airship

   The advantage of airships over aeroplanes is that static lift sufficient for flight is generated by the lifting gas and requires no engine power. This was an immense advantage before the middle of World War I and remained an advantage for long-distance or long-duration operations until World War II .

   Cloudline's airships are 18.2 meters (60 feet) long and 5.2 meters (17 feet) wide when fully assembled, with a small net weight once inflated, allowing for easy lift.

6. AeroLift CycloCrane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AeroLift_CycloCrane

   The wings on the ends of the blades generated the lift needed to either carry the rest of the payload or to hold the airship down if it was unloaded. In a two-ton slingload Cyclocrane, for example, (which was the nominal size of the proof of concept models) the lifting gas would lift the weight of the vehicle, fluids and crew and one ton of ...

7. Goodyear Type AD - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodyear_Type_AD

   The first example, christened Pilgrim, was Goodyear's first civil airship, and their first airship to use helium as its lift gas. Originally intended for pleasure cruising, it soon found its true calling as a promotional vehicle as the first "Goodyear Blimp" in a line that has continued for over ninety years. The Type AD was a conventional ...
