Media:Example.oggWhat about hotships? Hotships are basicly a combination of a blimp and a hot air baloon. // Liftarn 17:16 Jan 7, 2003 (UTC)

The overview information about other types of airships should be moved to the page for 'dirigible'.

=========================================

A user at 209.90.162.12 added text saying that a hot air airship might also be referred to as a 'montgolfiere.' I think this is stretching it a bit. Perhaps this is true for French speakers, but in English I have heard 'montgolfiere' is used only to refer to hot air balloons. I've never seen a reference to a hot air airship. So I'd rather not expand the meaning of the term. But if somebody can point to an outside English language source that uses the term, then it is worth reconsidering

Is there a relationship between blimps, hotships, and zepellins?

Yes, the various categories of airships are described in some detail that article. Although 'hotship' is a fairly rare term so it isn't discussed much in either article. It's included more for completeness Blimpguy 23:31, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
