Skyship

A skyship, also known as an airship or dirigible, is a type of aircraft that uses a large buoyant gas, like helium or historically hydrogen, to lift it off the ground. Unlike airplanes, skyships float through the air much like a boat on water, guided by engines and rudders. They are typically used for surveillance, advertising, tourism, or research, offering a stable and quiet way to view landscapes or gather data from the atmosphere. Their gentle, buoyant movement makes them distinct from faster, heavier aircraft.
