Airships have been most commonly used in advertisement & product promotional applications like the famous Good Year and Fujifilm blimps. Apart from these, airships had also been erstwhile used for humanitarian activities like the Mineseeker Airship used at Kosovo for detection of landmines. Airships have been used for police surveillance activities like the deployment of Airships during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and also during the 2004 Olympics in Athens. Thus, current application spectrum hugely revolves around aerial observation and surveillance, tourism and corporate hospitality. However, some experts say that due to the low fuel penalties as well as mitigated infrastructure requirements accompanied by the advancement of science and technology, the application spectrum of airships in the future will be limited by ones imagination only. For instance, airships are already being utilized for stratospheric applications and are being explored for prospective space missions. Thus, we believe any contribution towards this technology will be a contribution towards a greener aviation future for mankind.
