===Blimp=== {{main|Blimp}} A blimp is a non-rigid aerostat.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kWJBDAAAQBAJ&q=A+blimp+is+a+non-rigid+aerostat&pg=PA3|title=Fundamentals of Aircraft and Rocket Propulsion|last=El-Sayed|first=Ahmed F.|date=2016|publisher=Springer|isbn=9781447167969|language=en}}</ref> In British usage it refers to any non-rigid aerostat, including [[barrage balloon]]s and other [[kite balloon]]s, having a streamlined shape and stabilising tail fins.<ref>Wragg, D; ''Historical Dictionary of Aviation'', History Press (2008) p. 27.</ref> Some blimps may be powered dirigibles, as in early versions of the [[Goodyear Blimp]]. Later Goodyear dirigibles, though technically ''semi-rigid airships,'' have still been called "blimps" by the company.<ref name="piece">Mackinnon, Jim, [http://www.ohio.com/news/local-news/piece-by-piece-goodyear-s-new-airship-arrives-at-wingfoot-hangar-1.332411 "Piece by piece, Goodyear's new airship arrives at Wingfoot hangar"], September 6, 2012, updated September 7, 2012, ''[[Akron Beacon Journal]],'' [[Akron, Ohio]] (Goodyear blimps' base), retrieved June 28, 2021</ref>
