Goodyear Blimp Part 1: A New Airship Takes to the Skies

Goodyear Blimp Part 1: A New Airship Takes to the Skies

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
We go inside the latest addition to a fleet of lighter-than-air vehicles-the most advanced blimp in the air Joachim: I hope the aviation industry will turn to airships in the future. What a great way to travel. One could have restaurants on board, cabins even.
See, it's the greed for even more profit, to transport stuff faster, to transport more stuff, cheaper. That's what put engines on the beautiful tall ships, that's why we're flying polluting aeroplanes instead of these gentle sky giants.
If we could settle back a bit and start living in the here and now. We wouldn't want to travel as fast as possible, we would enjoy every moment of the journey.
We would marvel at every view.

This ist NOT a blimp!
For better understanding:
A Blimp is a specific TYPE of airship, not a name.
All Blimps are Airships, not all Airships are Blimps.
A Blimp is a non-rigid airship. I has no internal structure
The Zeppelin NT HAS an internal structure.
The Zeppelin NT is an semi-rigit-airship, NOT a Blimp.

I see this blimp a lot in my city (Long Beach) I always look up and stare at it haha it flew above me thing looks awesome. One time I saw one advertising Dispicable Me movie it was a minion haha thought it was funny took a picture.

this blimp has been flying around my town for years, i saw it yesterday and the day before that while sitting on my porch. I followed it for a few miles and got to see it land and take off

FYI --- The new airship is actually more of a zeppelin than a blimp. Blimps have the soft envelopes non-rigid and zeppelins have the semi-rigid / rigid interior frame structure.

Wonderful flying machine! A flight in one of the new generation zeppelins is a lovely traveling experience. Flying them is an equally memorable experience. :-)

Cool airship I guess but what's it's purpose? Is it all for advertising? What's the pilot's job? Just fly around all day advertising Goodyear?

I would like to see a follow up video detailing just how efficient blimps are for cargo transportation. I hear that it is amazing.

God I wish I could see the Goodyear Blimp again. Haven't seen that beauty since 1999, when I was only 5 years old.

i have a fear of airships. -. i don't know why. just imagining it sailing through the sky makes me uncomfortable
