Blimp

A blimp is a large airship that is filled with gas to help it float. They are often seen at sports events and festivals.

Appearance

The Blimp is a large, cigar-shaped airship with a non-rigid, inflatable gas bag, often brightly colored for advertising. It usually features a small passenger gondola suspended underneath and two or more propellers, distinguishing it from rigid airships or hot air balloons.
