Thanks to pilots like Basaran, the Goodyear Blimp fleet is still globetrotting. The company operates three blimps in the U.S.

Tech expert Kurt Knutsson says AT² Aerospace’s Z1 hybrid airship uses helium lift, low fuel, no runways. JD Vance said the India-Pakistan conflict was ‘none of our business’ - until ...

For the past 70 years, the Goodyear blimp has been as ubiquitous in the sports world as the national anthem. The tiremaker’s small fleet of blimps have floated above football games, NASCAR races, golf ...

The AT2 Aerospace Z1 airship aims to use a combination of hydrogen-powered thrust vectoring and helium buoyancy to efficiently carry people and goods over 1,000 miles (1,600 km) per trip.

But, the blimps received more than just advertising attention. During the World Wars, Goodyear manufactured blimps for the ...

Nearly a century after the Hindenburg, a new generation of airship companies says they have a greener alternative for tourism and cargo flights.

Replacing flammable hydrogen with helium has allowed for safer development and aims to avoid a repeat of the Hindenburg disaster, the luxury German airship that exploded live on film in 1937.
