Talk:American Blimp MZ-3

Comment
I have spent considerable time investigating the MZ-3A today. I have the following information beyond the 'facts' I have put in the article. 1. this is probably the 'you can't hide a big white blimp, so you let the local press have a good story" kind of situation. 2. the MZ-3A is, therefore, a 'hide in clear sight,' black program. 3. there is a very good chance the program has already ended after trials at Fort Dix and Pax River. 4. We - I mean the Wikipedia - would best report what is in the open press and leave it at that. Mark Lincoln 03:11, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Difference between blimps and airships
There are clear technical differences between blimps and airships. This article incorrectly calls this an airship despite it's non-rigid structure, it's "hanging basket" cockpit, and the fact that the propellers are attached to the cockpit, not the balloon. Even the title of this blimp involves the word "blimp". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.19.14.27 (talk) 05:06, 5 August 2011 (UTC)


 * What suggestions do you have for improving it? What parts are wrong?.P0PP4B34R732 (talk) 03:20, 30 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Relax. 69.19.14.27 is talking out of his nether orifice. A blimp is a nonrigid airship. There are also semirigid and rigid airships. So what. They are all airships. The article is perfectly correct; 69.19.14.27 is wrong, period. Fnj2 (talk) 00:40, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Agree, "Blimp" has always been a subset of "Airship". There's are non-rigid, semi-rigid, and rigid airships. Rigid is further divided on the basis of internal frame or rigid skin (although in truth these have an internal frame as well)Benvenuto (talk) 11:44, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
