The Spirit of Goodyear, one of the iconic Goodyear Blimps. This is a list of airships with a current unexpired Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) [1] registration.. In 2021, Reader's Digest said that "consensus is that there are about 25 blimps still in existence and only about half of them are still in use for advertising purposes". [2]
This blimp is a type of airborne early warning and control aircraft, typically as the active part of a system which includes a mooring platform, communications and information processing. Example systems include the U.S. JLENS and Israeli Aeronautics Defense Skystar 300 .
The K-class blimp was a class of blimps (non-rigid airship) built by the Goodyear Aircraft Company of Akron, Ohio, for the United States Navy.These blimps were powered by two Pratt & Whitney Wasp nine-cylinder radial air-cooled engines, each mounted on twin-strut outriggers, one per side of the control car that hung under the envelope.

The electric aircraft took 10 years to develop, is larger than three Boeing 737s and is estimated to carry more cargo than a Boeing 737, LTA Research CEO Alan Weston told TechCrunch, a science and ...
The blimp possess modern thrust vectoring propulsion systems that allows the AS700 to do both STOL and VTOL operations. [2] The maximum takeoff weight is 4,150 kg with the maximum range being 700 km. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Likewise, its maximum flight time is recorded to be 10 hours and is capable of achieving a maximum speed of a 100 km/h. [ 2 ]
Stratolaunch set out to build a mobile launch system with three primary components: a carrier aircraft (aircraft concept was designed by Burt Rutan, but the aircraft will be designed and built by Scaled Composites); a multi-stage launch vehicle to be developed and built by SpaceX; and a mating and integration system—allowing the carrier ...
An airborne aircraft carrier is a type of mother ship aircraft which can carry, launch, retrieve and support other smaller parasite aircraft. [1] The only dedicated examples to have been built were airships, although existing heavier-than-air aircraft have been modified for use in similar roles.
