cargo airships

Cargo airships are big, balloon-shaped machines that carry freight, or cargo. They look like a huge versions of the colorful balloons you see in the sky during a parade. Unlike regular airplanes, cargo airships don't need a runway to take off and land. That is why they are sometimes called "flying ships"! Airships use big fans and engines to move around, so they are quieter than planes and don't block out the sunshine. Airships provide an easier and more economical way to transport goods to places that don't have runways or airports.
