🇬🇧 Airship meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card

An airship is a very large, long balloon that can fly through the sky because it is filled with a special gas that is lighter than air. It has engines and a small cabin or boat-shaped part hanging underneath where people can ride. Long ago, before big airplanes were common, people used airships to travel and see the world from high in the sky.

When the airship passed by, my little brother shouted, "Look, a sky hot dog!"

A squirrel saw the airship, dropped its acorn, and probably changed its life goals to "sky explorer."

When the airship flew over town, every dog barked, "Big balloon! Big balloon!" in dog language.

I wanted to steer the airship, but the pilot said, "Maybe practice with a paper airplane first."

My friend brought a giant balloon onto the airship, and the pilot said, "One flying balloon at a time, please."

A huge silver airship hummed above the town as an airship ladder lowered and families boarded the airship. Children pressed faces to glass while the airship rose over rooftops, engines humming, wind in hair. The pilot steered across the harbor and the airship landed gently; everyone cheered. Families hugged on the grass under the airship shadow.
