#Blimp over the #GoldenGateBridge
Stephen ReesIts not a "blimp". They were stationary unmanned balloons used to interfere with bombers in the blitz in London. This is a dirigible or zeppelin.
Fair comment, though “blimp” can refer to any non-rigid airship — it doesn’t have to be stationary.
That said, the craft here is still referred to as a blimp:
‘Although technically incorrect, Goodyear continues to use "blimp" in reference to these new semi-rigid models.’
Well, I beg your pardon. That wasn't actually a Goodyear Blimp, it turns out it was the Pathfinder 1 airship. It’s a rigid-frame electric airship developed by LTA Research.
It's currently conducting test flights for “zero-emission, heavy cargo transport”.
Thank you for the call-out.
