ZQuickSilverZ Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) I have X-Plane 9, FSX, and Vehicle Simulator and I am looking to fly some interesting vehicles. Right now I am seeking Hang Gliders Hot Air Baloons Blimps Dirigibles Gliders Ultralights Gyroplanes Remote Control Aircraft Fantasy Airships You guys have any links to any of these? Edited June 27, 2011 by ZQuickSilverZ I need, I need, I need... What about my wants? QuickSilver original. "Off with his job" Mr Burns on the Simpsons. "I've seen steering wheels / arcade sticks / flight sticks for over a hundred dollars; why be surprised at a 150 dollar item that includes the complexities of this controller?! It has BLINKY LIGHTS!!" author unknown. These titles are listed in the chronological order I purchased them. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

ZQuickSilverZ Posted June 27, 2011 Author Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) The difference is a blimp is simply an inflatable bag. Only the pressure of the gas gives it any kind of shape. A dirigible has an internal support system, a skeleton if you will. Per Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirigible In modern common usage, the terms Zeppelin, dirigible and airship are used interchangeably for any type of rigid airship, with the term blimp alone used to describe non-rigid airships. Although the blimp also qualifies as a "dirigible", the term is seldom used with blimps. In modern technical usage, airship is the term used for all aircraft of this type, with Zeppelin referring only to aircraft of that manufacture, and blimp referring only to non-rigid airships.
