airship
noun
a) A lighter-than-air aircraft that can be propelled forward through the air as well as steered.

Airships are posited to be cheaper to operate over time than fixed-wing aircraft, but as there are no large fleets, this is hard to prove in practice.

b) Any aircraft.

On weekends, I liked to spend my time at the airport watching the various airships take off and land.
