	List of Final Fantasy airships - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Airships in Final Fantasy V do not exist in the present, but were the results of the labor of an ancient civilization.
		The airship, which was the first to run without the use of a mist engine, was stolen by the ship's namesake and the Regent's wife, Hilda Garde, after she discovered the womanizing ways of her husband and turned him into an oglop.
		The airship was later taken from her by the powerful Kuja who used it for his deeds.

	Airship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Airships were among the first aircraft to fly, with various designs flying throughout the 19th century.
		Several airships of this kind were built in the USA and Britain in the 1920s and 1930s, mostly imitating original Zeppelin design derived from crashed or captured German World War I airships.
		While Germany determined that airships were obsolete for military purposes in the coming war and concentrated on the development of airplanes, the United States pursued a program of military airship construction even though it had not developed a clear military doctrine for airship use.

		However, it was not until the invention of the gasoline engine in 1896 that airships became practical, and in 1898 the Brazilian Alberto Santos-Dumont was the first to construct and fly (1898) a gasoline-powered airship.
		In a nonrigid airship, also known as a blimp, the shape of the gas bag is maintained by the internal pressure of the enclosed gas.
		In a rigid airship, the form of the gas bag is determined by a rigid framework, usually made of aluminum or a special aluminum alloy called Duraluminium; the framework is formed of longitudinal girders and cross-rings, also made of girders.

		dynamic lift: the vertical movement of an airship created by aerodynamic forces acting on the shape of the vehicle, as opposed to static lift, which is generated by the buoyancy of a lighter-than-air lifting gas.
		pressure airship: a term used to describe an airship whose shape is dependent on the gas inside its envelope having a higher pressure than is found in the atmosphere outside.
		The external fabric covering on a rigid airship is not completely gas-tight, but it does protect the more delicate gas cells and other interior components from wind and weather and provides a degree of streamlining.

	Airship FAQ
		In contrast, airships are powered and have some means of controlling their direction, usually with rudders.
		All the airships currently flying for publicity use are of that type; the Goodyear Blimps, the Budweiser and the Metlife Blimps in the USA, and the Fuji Blimp in Europe.
		Hot air airships, also known as thermal airships, are counted as a fourth kind even though they are technically part of the non-rigid category.

	Airship Web Resources for Students
		An airship is an aircraft consisting of a cigar-shaped balloon that carries a propulsion system (propellers), a steering mechanism, and accommodations for passengers, crew, and cargo.
		Airships, which get their shape only in cause of the pressure of the lifting-gas inside the envelope are called airships of the non-rigid type.
		Semi-rigid airships are airships, which are a hybrid between a rigid airship and a blimp.

		Instead, the fence was cut with an axe and the airship quickly sailed away carrying the dangling cow.
		The "airship rustler" story at one time was widely repeated and hailed in UFO circles as being true.
		It wasn't the airship that went from place to place, or rather, crash to crash, as it was the germ of the idea.

		The airship Shenandoah, nose to her high mooring mast, was floating gracefully with the variable breezes.
		It is true that the United States government gave up on the rigid dirigible after the crash of the American-built Akron in the Atlantic off Barnegat Light in April of 1933 and that of the Macon, her sister ship, in the Pacific off Point Sur, California, two years later.
		In Germany, the last commander of the Hindenburg, Captain Max Pruss, and other airship advocates are proposing new passenger and cargo dirigibles, using helium in place of hydrogen, to provide an intermediate service between the slower surface liners and the faster airplane.

		His airship was, primarily an aeroplane, but with a sustaining aluminum container, shaped like a cigar, and filled with a secret gas, made partly of hydrogen, being very light and powerful.
		The general idea of the airship was that of the familiar aeroplane, but in addition to the sustaining surfaces of the planes, there was an aluminum, cigar-shaped tank, holding a new and very powerful gas, which would serve to keep the ship afloat even when not in motion.
		The airship could be launched either by starting it along the ground, on rubber-tired wheels, as is done in the case of the ordinary aeroplane, or it could be lifted by the gas, just as is done with a balloon.

		As the airship flies through different altitudes and temperatures the envelope containing the helium gas is subjected to changing forces which create changes in the internal pressure of the envelope.
		As the airship gains altitude and the envelope pressure increases (external pressure is low), air is expelled by valves from the ballonets reducing the internal pressure.
		Eventually the airship may reach a height at which the ballonets are completely empty of air; this is called the "pressure height" of the airship and defines the maximum safe operating altitude at which the airship can fly.

		After her loss airship activity was reduced to a minimum and NAS Lakehurst, now almost a forgotten air station, was relegated to flying a handful of obsolete blimps.
		Fleet Airship Wing One was recommissioned at NAS Lakehurst in January 1949 and remained in operational and administrative control of postwar airship squadrons until the end of the program.
		All but two airships were deflated, preserved and stored in late 1961; two ships remained in flying status through fiscal 1962 for research and development projects.

	Millenium Airship Inc. ThrustWing Technology
		This advanced (patent pending) airship propulsion and control system consists of four engines (Ultra High Efficiency Turbofan) housed within the body of SkyFreighter in separate engine rooms which provide both protection and in-flight serviceability, and drive four variable pitch fan assemblies which are mounted perpendicular to the body of the airship at each ThrustWing base.
		One at the tip of each wing, which allows thrust to be directed perpendicular to body of the airship, and one at the outer trailing edge of each wing providing thrust in any direction selected by the pilot, based on the rotation of the movable portion of each ThrustWing.
		This feature allows the pilot to move the airship forward, backward, up, and down, whether the airship is buoyantly light or heavy, and apply additional thrust about the airship's vertical axis for low to zero airspeed maneuvering, including crosswind landing, take-off, and maneuvering.

	Bizarre Airship
		In 1909 the airship seemed to be the wave of the future.
		The term airship, generally speaking, is applied to dirigible balloons, while the heavier-than-air classes are more commonly spoken of as flying-machines.
		The flying-machine, or aeronef, is divided into three classes: Aeroplanes, which consist of one or more horizontal planes designed to soar into the air by being propelled forward at an incline; the helicopter, in which the ascensive force is secured by the use of vertical screws, or propellers; and the orthopter, or wing-beating machine.

	The UnMuseum - The Mystery Airship of 1896
		Stories began to suggest that the airship was the work of a mysterious inventor who was testing his device at night lest his ideas be stolen.
		One San Francisco attorney, nicknamed "Airship" Collins, claimed that he was representing the eccentric and wealthy inventor who had constructed the thing at a secret location in Oroville, just sixty miles north of Sacramento.
		One of the most striking things about the airship flap was that almost none of the stories surrounding it have anything to do with extra-terrestial beings.

	Early Airship Rumors Flew in Vincennes Sky
		According to the Vincennes Morning Commercial, the airship first appeared about nine o’clock, traveling along the extreme eastern portion of the horizon: A sphere of golden light was first seen in the vicinity of the Union Depot, from down in the city.
		Victor Schonfeld, somewhat of an expert observer, having made airships and balloons, a life-long study, and having even made several ascensions in his time, testified that this was a genuine airship.
		Some say voices could be heard in the airship, and one gentleman, who saw it from Burnett’s Heights says he could see a man moving about in the ship and that he appeared to be adjusting the machinery.

	History of the Airship - Gizmo Highway Technology Guide
		The airship took flight in France in 1852 and flew for 28 kilometres.
		The airship did not become a practical reality until the petrol engine and lightweight aluminium for the structure were introduced in the 1880s The first dirigible (steerable airship) was called La France and was developed by Charles Renard and Arthur C. Krebs.
		Most people believed that it was the hydrogen that caused the fire seen on the famous footage of the explosion but others have argued that hydrogen burns with a clear flame, so it was the material of the shell of the airship that caused the fire.
