M2: How many of you were at the football game Saturday night?Did you notice the blimp circling the stadium?Today's blimps are much smaller descendants of the giant airships-sometimes called zeppelins-that were used in the early twentieth century.Like those zeppelins,blimps are lighter-than-air aircraft.But blimps differ from zeppelins in a number of ways.First,as I said they are quite a bit smaller.The old airships were as long as football fields.And unlike zeppelins,blimps do not contain an internal metal frame.That's why blimps are sometimes called"nonrigid"airships.And blimps are a lot safer than the old zeppelins.That's because they use nonflammable belium in place of hydrogen to provide lift.
As you may know the age of the airship ended when the famous German airship Van Hindenburg exploded disastrously at Lakehurt,New Jersey,in 1937.I say that airship travel ended then,but some engineers believe that large,rigid airships will fly again.These airships of the future could be equipped with jet engines and filled with belium.Although they wouldn't be as fast as modern airplanes,they would be much more fuel efficient.
