Definition
Plural form of 'airship'; large aircraft like dirigibles, blimps, or zeppelins that are lighter-than-air and used for transportation or observation.
Etymology
Plural of 'airship,' from 'air' plus 'ship' (vessel), a term coined in the late 19th century for early dirigible balloons.
Kelly Says
Airships nearly became the future of aviation—before airplanes dominated, zeppelins were luxury liners, and people genuinely believed dirigibles would carry cargo and passengers across oceans, until hydrogen explosions and speed disadvantages changed everything.
