Cool Airship | comment |
While airships in general are considered cool, the Cool Airship is beyond cool. Most of the time, it will have an impossibly cool design which would most likely be unable to fly in Real Life. Fortunately, fiction has Phlebotinum and/or hybrid designs (heavier-than-air airships that fly with some level of aerodynamic assistance from lifting bodies, wings, rotors, etc.) for that little problem. Cool Airships also tend to be exceptionally big, sometimes so big that they double as Airborne Aircraft Carriers or even airborne cities. The Cool Airship is the preferred method of travel for Sky Pirates and technologically-savvy Nazis,note In reality, the Nazis weren't all that big on airships, seeing them mostly as propaganda tools and is extremely common in classic scientific romances and Steampunk. Technically, airships are far more Diesel Punk, with regards to both style and overall use, but they were actually invented in the Victorian era. The first airship flew in 1852 and was propelled by, you guessed it, a steam engine. Yes, that means blimps were around before the radio, On the Origin of Species, and the Lincoln administration. It's worth noting that not all airships are Cool Airships. For instance, the Goodyear Blimp is definitely not a Cool Airship. Like the Cool Car and the Cool Plane, the Cool Airship is exceptionally cool. Furthermore, it has to be owned by a major character, or otherwise play a prominent role, such as acting as the setting for a major scene. For massive cool points, it should be appointed like Titanic, with a casino, bar, and a sultry chanteuse on board for the entertainment of the passengers. Military or pirate vessels are known to carry an internal aircraft hangar and lots o' guns. Either way, any Cool Airship worth its salt usually boasts an Unnecessarily Large Interior. This is actually justified, in Real Life large airships need the vast hull space for weight distribution. It goes without saying that they are usually commanded by a badass of some sort. Unfortunately, with most of the world's militaries largely giving up on the vehicle type after a series of deadly crashes and especially after the fiery public destruction of the Hindenburg in 1937, airships were almost phased out in Real Life, so there are few examples in that category, with most modern airships being used for advertising, tourism and surveillance. See our Useful Notes on airships for more information on these craft and their history. Today, it's unlikely that they'll ever make a big comeback and overtake other aircraft, since modern jets are 4-5 times faster and helicopters are more nimble. Then again, even in their heyday airships were never common, seen more as the pinnacle or the titan of aircraft, something rare and newsworthy. However, there is a budding renaissance of Cool Airships being built and tested for niche applications, for example replacing cargo helicopters at ten times the range and a tenth the cost. This is largely fueled by the new development of hybrid(heavier-than-air) airship technology, which gives them much higher payloads, greater speed and more resistance to foul weather. Some other good examples of hybrid airships would be the LEMV and the Aeroscraft. See Zeppelins from Another World for airships being used to help show the viewers that something is set in an Alternate Universe or Alternate History. The two can overlap, but Zeppelins from Another World are often just a background detail, and Cool Airships (including ones in Speculative Fiction) aren't always used to hint at an Alternate Universe setting. After all, some exist in Real Life. In fantasy or Steampunk settings, the word "airship" will often be used for aircraft that are not airships in the real-life definition of the word. They may look like actual flying ships, or otherwise have no visible means of staying in the air, save for perhaps some tiny propellers or slowly flapping wings. Usually these use some sort of vague Applied Phlebotinum to lift off the ground, if it's even explained at all. Conversely, Science Fiction settings can invoke the trope with spaceships flying in the atmosphere. A Sub-Trope of Cool Ship, and so a Sister Trope of Cool Boat and Cool Plane. Related to the Square-Cube Law, Hollywood Density and Balloonacy. If it's a Living Ship, it's probably also a Living Gasbag. If the airship isn't just cool, but also ominous and threatening, that's Dread Zeppelin. See also Global Airship for the video game-specific variant. And remember... IT IS NOT A BLIMP, IT'S AN AIRSHIP! |

Nikolai Dante features The Imperial Palace, a literal flying fortress, bristling with BFGs, Strikehawk squadrons, and missile batteries, including nukes, but also including living quarters, the Tsar's court and dungeons, and plenty of troops. It also makes assassination attempts against the Tsar extremely difficult because any would-be assassin would need an aircraft, or at least a jetpack to both get on board and escape. Escaping from the damn thing is extremely difficult, with only two people ever being successful, one of whom was rendered comatose for twenty five years as a result and the other being Nikolai Dante. It's not known if it's spaceworthy, because the sheer size of the thing would probably be impossible to accelerate to the velocity required to escape the Earth's atmosphere. | |

Choujuu Sentai Liveman: The team's flying fortress is the Machine Buffalo, which carried the components of Live Robo or Live Boxer. It marked the last use of a single-purpose carrier for individual mecha; from hereon out, the mecha carriers could combine with other mecha or had alternative purposes, like the Vic-Trailer (which supplied the mecha's main weapon) and Giga Bitus (which transformed into a giant robo of its own and joined the team in battle at least once). | |

Guild Wars 2: The Pact airships, built to shoot down dragons and the Pact flagship, an immense airship built with significantly higher tech equipped with a Wave-Motion Gun that chases down one of the Big Bad dragon lords of the game in a sequence that is entirely original. Stolen Pact airships are also used by the the Aetherblade. Scarlet Briar had the massive Breachmaker, a massive flying drill half the size of a city, which she used to rupture a leyline in the bay outside Lion's Arch. |

Bioshock Infinite: Most ships, but particularly Comstock's ship, the giant battleship Hand of the Prophet, and the First Lady — which doesn't have much coolness on the performance side of things, except for being able to fly itself to any point on the planet, but it sure looks cool with its gold finish and the portrait of lady Comstock on the side. | |

In Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, Yuma and Anna team up against Tobio and Umimi in one two-part episode, two duelists who use monsters that are Cool Airships; Tobio's monster is Supercolossal Airship Giant Hindenburg, while Umimi's is Supercolossal Unsinkable Superliner Elegant Titanic (which, despite being named after a boat, is also an airship). They later use both monsters to Xyz Summon the even cooler Skypalace Gangaridai, and then use it to summon the coolest airship of all, CXyz Skypalace Babylon. Unfortunately, the last one is an evil card given to them by the Barians, making them their Unwitting Pawns; eventually despite all the coolness, they lose. | |

Kirby: Meta Knight's Iconic Face Ship, the Halberd, features bat-wings and its own Wave-Motion Gun, and a reactor powered by Wheelies. The battleship appears in what is arguably the most intense mode of the original Kirby Super Star. But what kind of weirdo puts his face on the bow of a ship, anyway? Magolor’s ship, the Lor Starcutter, is capable of traveling between dimensions. It appears in a few games starting with Kirby's Return to Dream Land, in which it crashes at the start of the game, and Magolor asks for the heroes’ help in rebuilding it. It acts as the game’s central hub, and the main objective for most of the rest of the game is to gather the ship’s parts. When Magolor betrays you, he flies off with it. When the heroes give chase, you’re forced to tear apart the ship you spent so long building before you can engage directly with Magolor. |

Shannara: High Druid of Shannara features the Evil Empire mounting solar-powered magitek laser cannons on their airships. The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: The eponymous vessel series is one of the coolest of the Magitek airships the Rovers have started piloting in the 130 years since the previous Shannara saga. |

Magolor’s ship, the Lor Starcutter, is capable of traveling between dimensions. It appears in a few games starting with Kirby's Return to Dream Land, in which it crashes at the start of the game, and Magolor asks for the heroes’ help in rebuilding it. It acts as the game’s central hub, and the main objective for most of the rest of the game is to gather the ship’s parts. When Magolor betrays you, he flies off with it. When the heroes give chase, you’re forced to tear apart the ship you spent so long building before you can engage directly with Magolor. | |

Dungeon Keeper Ami: Due to an impending ritual by the cult of Crowned Death Ami is forced to construct a fleet of these to conduct her forces across a quarter of the planet in less than three days, to prevent eight thousand innocents from being tortured to death. They also engage an undead navy in mid-air combat (due to undead warlocks levitateing the ships). They were (naturally) equipped with swivelling turrets for their mounted canons, Reaperbot repelling lines, and an entertainment system for Rabixtriel... | |

The Long Earth: The Mark Twain . Not only can it fly, it can also "step" between parallel Earths at a great pace. It also has a great deal of laboratories and robots for its AI captain, Lobsang, to experiment with. By The Long War, "twains" have become a standard feature of the Long Earth. Most aren't quite so cool as the Mark Twain (for one, most of them aren't captained by Lobsang), but the airships of the US Navy military flag-showing expedition West (especially the USS Benjamin Franklin, as that is the one we see the most) and the Chinese test-bed Zheng He get up there. |

Final Fantasy III has four. The simple nameless airship owned by Cid, which is destroyed early on. The Enterprise, which starts as a normal ship, and is later modified to be able to switch between sailing and flying, and which is later shot down over Saronia. The Nautilus, which is eventually modified to be able to go underwater as well. And last but certainly not least, the Invincible, a monstrously huge airship which, while lacking speed and the ability to go underwater, contains beds for healing, shops, and a Fat Chocobo, and can pass over mountain ranges. The Invincible is also the first airship in the series that you can actually explore as an area. Interestingly enough, you don't lose the Nautilus once you get the Invincible. | |

World of Warcraft: Orgrim's Hammer and the Skybreaker, airships used by Horde and Alliance as bases of operation in Icecrown in Wrath of the Lich King are pretty cool. The Hammer boat with a pair of Zeppelin blimps tied to it with nothing but Rule of Cool, while the Skybreaker is essentially a large ship with propellers fitted on it. More ships of the same models appear in Deepholm in Cataclysm, the Horde's having been shot down when the Alliance's was taken over by cultists. Another Alliance airship, the Skyfire, is in the final battle with Deathwing, chasing him when he flees to the Maelstrom. In Mists of Pandaria it battles the Horde in Pandaria, and later in Legion, when the Horde destroy it. In the Pandaren starting zone, the Wandering Isle, when is actually a giant turtle named Shen-zin Su, a crashed Alliance airship named the Skyseeker injures said turtle. |

Tales of the Ketty Jay is a series about steampunk airship pirates. The Ketty Jay manages to be a Cool Airship, despite being quite an old and outdated model at the time the novel is set (the Ketty Jay is so heavily armored that it takes rockets to damage and can hold its own with a powerful autocannon). Apparently she's patched together in such a haphazard way, that only Frey can really fly her to her full potential. The Delerium Trigger is a more straightforward example, although while it's very big and powerful, it's not quite as fast as the smaller fighter ships. | |

The Vision of Escaflowne: The anime features a huge variety of airships. All of them operate on the concept of "float stones" rocks that seem to be a super conducting element native to Gaea which naturally float as a result of magnetics. They can be caused to descend by heating them, which just like regular magnets causes them to stop functioning until cooled. The principle airship is the Crusade, but many many others are seen through the series. | |

Super Mario Bros. 3 features the Koopalings with fleets of airships. The castle levels have Mario or Luigi having to storm the fleet to make their way to the ship the Koopaling is hiding in. It's also the source of one of the most epic themes in the series. Several of the game worlds also feature standalone airship levels that will appear on the map after some time. Later, New Super Mario Bros. U would give each of the Koopalings their own personal airship modeled after Bowser's, though you only ever get to see one room (and not even that for the last two). | |

Five Weeks in a Balloon: Not really an airship, but the Victoria is cool because it is capable of having its altitude controlled without losing gas or ballast, and therefore of staying aloft for five weeks to explore the heart of Africa. It's kept aloft by a combination of heat and hydrogen gas. The other characters point out how dangerous this is, but Ferguson, the inventor, is willing to take the risk. (The Other Wiki's page on the book had an entire section about how the balloon's mechanism as described by Verne is scientifically impossible. It's still available in the discussion page.) | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Fire Nation airships, which can bombard enemy positions and even hurl bombs like missiles while defending themselves with conventional Firebending by the crews that pilot them. Also of note is the airship that serves as the personal flagship of Fire Lord Ozai in the Sozin's Comet finale, which is three times the size of a conventional airship and whose nose takes the form of an ornate golden phoenix while the rest have noses in the form of a dragon's head. In The Legend of Korra, airship travel has become commonplace with more modern versions serving as patrol vessels for the police forces of Republic City and as transports for Equalist forces in their fight against benders. By Book 3, Team Avatar travels around in their own luxury airship, provided by Asami. |

Archer: "Skytanic" has the Excellsior, the captain of which even constantly corrects Archer that "it's a rigid airship!" While the Excellsior advertises itself as the "pampered luxury of a cruise ship [meeting] the smoothness of modern air travel", the impracticality of airships is noted by Archer, who points out that they are only marginally faster than cruise ships and far slower than airplanes. | |

In Rocket Age they're used for navigating the atmospheres of Jupiter where a rocket-ship may ignite a gas pocket. There are also convertables, rocket-ships that can deploy balloons and propellers to become an airship. The Jovians one-up this by having airships that float without balloons. Their cities also count, being domed airships that hide deeper in the atmosphere. The H'Slit Venusian nations use stone, leather and wood gliders and sail-craft to travel between the peaks of their home mountain range. | |

The Legend of Zelda: In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Divine Beast Vah Medoh is an airship shaped like a giant bird. It is initially seen circling around Rito Village and keeping them from flying too high lest it shoot at them with its laser cannons. Once it has been subdued, it will perch above their village. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has the Stormwind Ark, also called the Wind Temple. This one looks more like a traditional water-based rowing ship, but in the sky. It's surrounded by lots of smaller airships that have huge trampolines on their decks. Link and Tulin travel up to the Stormwind Ark, climbing up Sky Islands and bouncing off the airship trampolines, because it's at the center of the blizzard vortex that is devastating Rito Village and seems to have some connection to the storm. |

The two videogames focus on protagonist Nathan Zachery, leader of the Fortune Hunters, who steals a flying airship named the Pandora early on and uses it as home base and a flying carrier for the rest of his adventures. Other groups are seen with their own cool airships. | |

Super Mario Bros. has plenty of examples, mostly from the Koopa Troop: Bowser himself has his personal airship from The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, becoming game canon from the Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 onwards, it stands out from the others by way of not only being much larger, but having busts of his head at the front and back. Super Mario Odyssey gives it further embellishments along with a shiny new white and purple paintjob in honor of the Koopa King's wedding. Super Mario Bros. 3 features the Koopalings with fleets of airships. The castle levels have Mario or Luigi having to storm the fleet to make their way to the ship the Koopaling is hiding in. It's also the source of one of the most epic themes in the series. Several of the game worlds also feature standalone airship levels that will appear on the map after some time. Later, New Super Mario Bros. U would give each of the Koopalings their own personal airship modeled after Bowser's, though you only ever get to see one room (and not even that for the last two). Bowser Jr. had a petite airship in Super Mario Galaxy, though he swaps it out for a flying Robot Cockpit in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Paper Mario: Sticker Star features "Bowser Jr.'s Flotilla", an airship equipped with a Banzai Bill cannon at the front instead of a bust. Jr. is also usually in charge of his father's airship. The first two Mario & Luigi games had the Koopa Cruiser, another personal airship of Bowser's that has a more distinct appearance compared to the galleons that the Koopa Troop usually use. Additionally, Superstar Saga and Paper Jam have Bowser's Castle converted into a flying fortress. |

Final Fantasy IV has Baron's armed airship fleet, which is what enables Baron to become the most powerful nation in the game and gather the crystals from other places. Cid's Airship, the Enterprise is a basic model but his second airship, The Falcon, gets a giant drill on the front to bore through the earth. Even better is the Lunar Whale, while technically a Cool Starship only ever travels to the moon and otherwise behaves just like the airship as well as a portable inn & item storage | |

It's roughly a kilometer long, has an entire fleet of additional airships to support it, and some of the people who work there haven't set foot on the ground in years. Air-warships in general are a mainstay of Baron Klaus Wulfenbach's armed forces as well. | |

Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere has the UI-series blimps; the UI-4052 Cralias (misspelling of Clarias, genus of catfish), which was hijacked by a terrorist group carrying a bioweapon, and the infinitely cooler UI-4053 Sphyrna (named after a genus of hammerhead sharks), which is a heavily armed and armored Airborne Aircraft Carrier. It became the symbol of a late game terrorist organization and its de facto moving HQ. All endings require you to destroy this beast, and it houses two of the game's most powerful (read: toughest to beat) planes: the Wave-Motion Gun-equipped MacGuffin plane X-49 Raven and the Big Bad's Super Prototype UI-4054 Aurora. Part of the difficulty downing the blimp is that, unlike other airborne things in game, you need to target its weapons systems, sub-engines and finally main engine for it to go down, at least for the current mission. | |

Satanik, Dracula's personal flagship: its a colossal monster that makes Men o'War look like boats in comparison, its crewed by 5,000 vampires, plus 500 victims and a team of 400 Archaeologists to maintain the ship. Its armed with weapons from every Earth era, including demonically-guided impalers, photon torpedoes, tractor beams and three Doomsday Men (exceptionally evil vampires that had to be locked up inside coffins). In addition, its protected by phantom and demonic shields, has its own ballroom, chapel, several dungeons and many impaling facilities. | |

The earlier Metal Heroes series used these a lot, though the later installments wavered away. A good example is Jikuu Senshi Spielban, who has the Grand Nasca, a massive flying fortress that acts as a base for Spielban and his partners, supplying them with their vehicles and armor. It also has two alternate modes — Combat Formation, which turns it into a giant robot, and the Big Bang Cannon, a bazooka-type weapon that Spielban can use via holographic technology. VR Troopers later used the footage of the Grand Nasca as the VR Skybase, the Troopers' aerial fortress, along with its robot form VR Troopertron and weapon form VR Techno Bazooka. |

Himitsu Sentai Gorenger: The Variblune, an early bulldog-like VTOL aircraft which serves as the team's first flying fortress, and contains their vehicles and various tools for them to use. It was destroyed in episode #42 and replaced by the Varidorin, a bird-like flying fortress, during the same episode; the Varidorin was eventually destroyed in the finale when the Black Cross Castle, though a second copy was later seen in the J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai vs. Gorenger epilogue movie. | |

The Three Musketeers (2011) has a definitely cool British airship based (in-story) on a Leonardo da Vinci design. Cardinal Richelieu's forces get an ever bigger one near the end of the film and use it to combat the former that the musketeers had hijacked. Both ships crash eventually, but The Stinger reveals Buckingham is back for a vengeance with a whole armada of airships. | |

Lawrence III's airship Hik�kyū (Japanese for "Flying Palace") from Pokémon 2000 and Zero's Megarig from Pokémon: Giratina and the Sky Warrior; also the Battle Pyramid (inhabited by Frontier Brain Brandon) most likely qualifies as an airship.

However, after they Took a Level in Badass in the Best Wishes anime, they abandon the Meowth balloon and replace it with a simple purple hot air balloon with a stylized Team Rocket "R" insignia on it. Pokémon Horizons: The Series gives us Brave Asagi, a massive dirigible serving as the heroes' mobile home. In Pokémon Adventures, there's the Team Rocket Airship in the FireRed/LeafGreen arc that can turn into a stadium with a push of a button. Giovanni probably designed it that way specifically for his rematch with Red. |

Oddworld: Due to the apparent absence of all aerodynes bar the helicopter backpacks, almost all flying things will be aircraft. Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee: The beginning of the game features the titular Munch escaping from the giant floating facility Vykker's Labs. The facility is shaped like a flying saucer and is large enough to block out a decent portion of the sky when it flies overhead. Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath: During the siege of Last Legs, various blimps are used as deployment vehicles, all coming from a floating mothership hovering above. Oddworld: Soulstorm: Molluck chases the Rupture Farms escapees across Mudos in a blimp vaguely shaped after a Glukkon's head, adorned with a bust of his own head above the cockpit window. Apparently the owners of the big factories of Mudos all have their own blimps, each with their factory's logo imprinted on the balloon fabric. In addition, it is revealed that the ideal retirement for these Big Cheeses is to live out the rest of their days on a luxury blimp-yacht. |

Skies of Arcadia has all kinds of airships, but by far the coolest is the Delphinus, a Super Prototype battleship that your characters steal about halfway through the game. In a world where the majority of airships resemble old wooden sailing ships or World War I-era destroyers, the Delphinus is a sleek and angular death machine based on WWII-era battleships and armed to the teeth with cannons, magic cannons, torpedoes, and a Wave-Motion Gun to make the Yamato green with envy. Crew must also be recruited from around the world to man this fortress. | |

Johannes Cabal the Detective has one with a murder mystery onboard the latest airship, the Princess Hortense which isn't a lighter than air dirigble. The Princess runs on Laithwaite Gyroscopic Levitators to rise and then drags itself through the atmosphere with its Magneto-Etheric Guides which latches on to the Earth's magnetic field. It also doubles as an aircraft carrier, with gyroscopic small fliers on its flat top. In fact, it has a fair resemblance to a Marvel Comic's S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier and even has a spec/diagram on page 48 - having the honor of the story's few diagrams. | |

Airborn and its sequels, Skybreaker and Starclimber, are the very embodiment of this trope. They take place in an alternate history in which airships never lost popularity, despite the Hindenburg incident, thanks to the new element "hydrium". This changes technological advancement to an enormous extent, and airships and ornithopters are much more popular than any sea-going vessel. The main character (Matt Cruse, a name that screams "adventure/romance novel") starts out as a cabin boy aboard the Aurora, a luxurious cruise airship. In Skybreaker, a very low-class ship is shown, and then another high-price ship that can also reach incredible altitudes. In the same book, the plot centers around an absolutely immense derelict airship. | |

Final Fantasy: The games have all had airships right from the very first game. Having said that, some are a lot more notable than others: Final Fantasy III has four. The simple nameless airship owned by Cid, which is destroyed early on. The Enterprise, which starts as a normal ship, and is later modified to be able to switch between sailing and flying, and which is later shot down over Saronia. The Nautilus, which is eventually modified to be able to go underwater as well. And last but certainly not least, the Invincible, a monstrously huge airship which, while lacking speed and the ability to go underwater, contains beds for healing, shops, and a Fat Chocobo, and can pass over mountain ranges. The Invincible is also the first airship in the series that you can actually explore as an area. Interestingly enough, you don't lose the Nautilus once you get the Invincible. Final Fantasy IV has Baron's armed airship fleet, which is what enables Baron to become the most powerful nation in the game and gather the crystals from other places. Cid's Airship, the Enterprise is a basic model but his second airship, The Falcon, gets a giant drill on the front to bore through the earth. Even better is the Lunar Whale, while technically a Cool Starship only ever travels to the moon and otherwise behaves just like the airship as well as a portable inn & item storage Final Fantasy V's airship, while it doesn't get a fancy name (it's simply called "the airship" because it's unique), has the ability to change between airship, regular ship and submarine forms. And comes with its own helipad-equipped Elaborate Underground Base. Final Fantasy VI has Setzer's Blackjack, which not only is a speedy airship but also doubles as a flying casino (sadly no minigames) and bachelor pad. The second airship found in the game, the Falcon, is faster but significantly less stylish. Final Fantasy VII has the Highwind, which in addition to serving as the Global Airship, also is used to air-drop the party into Midgar. Final Fantasy VIII has two, sort of. The first is the Balamb Garden itself, which hovers above the ground a little and is fairly unique among airships in that its also a flying military academy... the coolness of the craft is debatable. However the second airship is the Ragnarok, which is much smaller than the Garden, but has a sleek design, a forward mounted gatling gun, grappler claws, and is capable of space flight, and serves as much more so the 'cool' ship of the game... not to mention it looks like a dragon. Final Fantasy X has an airship that looks more Cool Starship than airship. You can walk it's corridors containing many characters or just use the GPS navigation system to get around the game world (no manual flying, sorry). Final Fantasy XIII has the Palamecia, a truly massive Airborne Aircraft Carrier that is bristling with energy weapons. Final Fantasy XIV has the Enterprise, Cid Garlond's personal airship which he uses to help the heroes travel to dangerous or far-off locations. Some in-game mounts also count, including manacutters and the Falcon. In Final Fantasy XV, the Nifelheim Empire has a battalion of Cool Airships. After beating the game, you can also upgrade your car, the Regalia, into a Cool Aircar. |

Magic: The Gathering: The Weatherlight was a flying ship that could travel between different planes, and also served as the centerpiece in a plan to protect the world from extraplanar invasion. Its power core is the compressed remnant of a collapsed pocket universe. There was also its flying rival, the Predator. Kaladesh, a plane characterized by its natives' intense devotion to invention and Clockpunk and Steampunk aesthetics, is home to a profusion of shiny brass skyships and thopters of intricate, extremely ornate design. |

The Edge Chronicles: Any and every sky ship probably fits this trope, more or less looking like a typical pirate ship except capable of flight, and usually with a crew made up entirely of badasses. Not to mention they get their lighter-than-air capabilities from magic floating rocks. | |

Super Sentai: The first twelve series of the line all featured "Flying Fortresses", giant flying vehicles that served as the team's primary aerial combat machines in the first two series and then as a means to transport their mecha to the battlefield in the next ten. A number of these were piloted by the team's Robot Buddy or their mentor, though some were piloted by members of the team itself. Himitsu Sentai Gorenger: The Variblune, an early bulldog-like VTOL aircraft which serves as the team's first flying fortress, and contains their vehicles and various tools for them to use. It was destroyed in episode #42 and replaced by the Varidorin, a bird-like flying fortress, during the same episode; the Varidorin was eventually destroyed in the finale when the Black Cross Castle, though a second copy was later seen in the J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai vs. Gorenger epilogue movie. J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai: The team's flying fortress is the Sky Ace, armed with various weapons. It also contains the Powered Capsules, which the team entered to transform. Battle Fever J: The team's flying fortress is the Battle Shark, which stores the Battle Fever Robo and all of its weapons. From this point on, all the Sentai airships were mainly mecha carriers (not counting mecha components), until the last 80s series completely eliminated the tradition. Denshi Sentai Denziman: The team's flying fortress is the Denzi Tiger, which is armed with a pair of missile launchers and is where the Denzi Fighter (which transformed into the team's Denzi Robo) is stored. Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan: The team's flying fortress is the Jaguar Vulcan, which stored the two components of the Sun Vulcan Robo. Dai Sentai Goggle Five: The team's flying fortress is the Goggle Caesae, which was piloted by Goggle Black and Goggle Pink, and in turn launched three numbered carrier pods, each of which contained one of the three components of GoggleRobo. Unlike most flying fortresses, it fought alongside the team's mecha. Kagaku Sentai Dynaman: The team's flying fortress is DyJupiter, which, like its predecessors, contained the components of Dyna Robo. In the Gag Dub, its name was Dyna Ship. The series also contained the Grand Gizmo, utilized by the villains of the series as a base and to release its aerial fighters, until its destruction in the finale. Choudenshi Bioman: The team's flying fortress is the Bio Dragon, which contained the two components of Bio Robo. Dengeki Sentai Changeman: The team's flying fortress is the Shuttlebase, a shuttle carrier that contained the three components of Change Robo. It was fully functional as a spaceship, and in the finale went into space with several of the team's allies to travel to other worlds terrorized by the series' Big Bad and help them rebuild. Choushinsei Flashman: The team's flying fortress is the Star Condor, which contained the components of Flash King and Titan Boy, along with Flash King's Cosmo Sword. In the finale, it was used to carry the team back to the Flash star system, leaving the Round Base (which it launched from, and which had originally taken them to Earth) behind. Hikari Sentai Maskman: The team's flying fortress is the Turbo Ranger, not to be confused with the Sentai team that debuted two years later.note The name of the ship is actually pronounced "Turbo RUN-ger" or ターボランジャー. Designed to resemble a sports car, it can carry either the Great Five components, or the Land Galaxy. Choujuu Sentai Liveman: The team's flying fortress is the Machine Buffalo, which carried the components of Live Robo or Live Boxer. It marked the last use of a single-purpose carrier for individual mecha; from hereon out, the mecha carriers could combine with other mecha or had alternative purposes, like the Vic-Trailer (which supplied the mecha's main weapon) and Giga Bitus (which transformed into a giant robo of its own and joined the team in battle at least once). Tensou Sentai Goseiger: Gosei Ultimate, the team's last new mecha to be introduced, transforms from a giant airship and serves in part to focus the powers of the five Miracle Headders. It can also serve as a jetpack for Gosei Great. |

Snoopy vs. the Red Baron has the Red Baron's Flying Fortress, a massive armored airship shaped like an eagle. It packs a lot of heat, serves as a flying aircraft carrier, and carries an ICBM. The unofficial sequel, Snoopy Flying Ace has a couple. The Germans have their Dreadnoughts (their levels are all called "Zeppeligeddon"), a cool three-headed steampunk airship that deploys squads of fighters and has a forcefield (unfortunately it can't actually move with the shields up and has to drop it to advance on its bombing targets. The Allies also get missions where they ride in their own airships (in co-op one player is a top gunner and the other is a bomber), though these airships aren't quite as cool. | |

In Terminal World, Swarm is a mobile city composed of dozens of massive zeppelins. The airships are built with a massive array of redundant archaic technology as the laws of reality can shift without warning and render more advanced equipment useless. Citizens traverse the city via small dirigible "taxis" or flexible rope bridges. Swarm scouts out its travel path with small, autocannon-toting airships. | |

MI13's Valiant (not from Doctor Who, which is fiction in this 'verse — though jokes are cracked about the name being the same) which is apparently delayed by over six months thanks to BAE screwing up the engines. However, it turns up in the sequel, protecting Hogwarts during the Triwizard Tournament. Like its S.H.I.E.L.D. counterpart, it can go into stealth mode. Unlike its S.H.I.E.L.D. counterpart, it has a vibranium hull (scraped off the below-mentioned Dreadnought) - and the vibranium functions as far more than just armour plating... it's demonstrated to be extraordinarily powerful, taking on an Elder Wyrm, an ancient, mountain-sized dragon capable of destroying planets and equally a Physical God like Thor and more than holding its own. | |

Child of the Storm: The S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier which, predictably, crashes in chapter 70 of the first book. It gets rebuilt and refitted and gives a much better acount of itself during the Battle of New Orleans in Unfinished Business, taking on a Super Star Destroyer construct made of a piece of the now godlike Arc Villain's soul. Somehow, it Makes Sense In Context. MI13's Valiant (not from Doctor Who, which is fiction in this 'verse — though jokes are cracked about the name being the same) which is apparently delayed by over six months thanks to BAE screwing up the engines. However, it turns up in the sequel, protecting Hogwarts during the Triwizard Tournament. Like its S.H.I.E.L.D. counterpart, it can go into stealth mode. Unlike its S.H.I.E.L.D. counterpart, it has a vibranium hull (scraped off the below-mentioned Dreadnought) - and the vibranium functions as far more than just armour plating... it's demonstrated to be extraordinarily powerful, taking on an Elder Wyrm, an ancient, mountain-sized dragon capable of destroying planets and equally a Physical God like Thor and more than holding its own. HYDRA have a bigger, badder Helicarrier called the Dreadnought. It was originally a prototype SHIELD Helicarrier until the HYDRA Agents within SHIELD faked its explosive destruction and smuggled it away. It's armed with Destroyer weaponry, has repulsor tech engines, a Nexus Engine of Bifrost tech that allows it to teleport anywhere in the world and, following the events of chapter 70, a vibranium hull. Of course, it doesn't last long either, but it does give a very good account of itself in its short life, taking on — simultaneously — the Avengers, MI13's "Project Wolftrap" the refitted and rearmed HMS Belfast, a WWII era Light Cruiser now equipped with Destroyer weaponry and more or less everything else that could be stuffed into it, and a number of others, including a temporarily drafted Green Lantern. Unfortunately for it, it had no defence against Magneto scrunching it up like a ball of foil in chapter 77. |

Yu-Gi-Oh! gives us Seto Kaiba's airship, which bears◊ resemblance◊ to your stereotypical blimps or semi-rigid frames (although, considering what it was capable of, it was probably rigid). The gondola on the bottom was large and comfortable enough to host the Battle City finalists and their friends, as well as Kaiba and his employees. There was also a lift which took people to the top of the airship, where a large dueling arena was installed, notable for having Tristan and Duke almost fall off the edge. Yup, children's card games are just that important. | |

The Moomin (1990) anime adds a plotline spanning multiple episodes about Snork building a flying ship, which looks like a large boat with wings and and multiple helicopter-like rotors. Most residents of Moominvalley (especially Moomintroll) are amazed at the thought of a ship flying through the air, but unfortunately, it's never properly used as it consumes too much fuel and was destroyed in "The Big Explosion" before a solution to this problem could be found. Snork then gets right back to work building a new model, this one resembling a hot air balloon with propellers, and while it's much smaller, it's also more practical and is successfully flown in the Season 1 finale. | |

Pokémon: The Series: Lawrence III's airship Hik�kyū (Japanese for "Flying Palace") from Pokémon 2000 and Zero's Megarig from Pokémon: Giratina and the Sky Warrior; also the Battle Pyramid (inhabited by Frontier Brain Brandon) most likely qualifies as an airship. All three of these crash in pursuit of a Legendary Pokémon, no less. Team Rockets' Meowth-shaped hot air balloon, which just happens to be their main form of transportation. However, after they Took a Level in Badass in the Best Wishes anime, they abandon the Meowth balloon and replace it with a simple purple hot air balloon with a stylized Team Rocket "R" insignia on it. |

In Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions's prequel manga, many guilds in Kaiba Corps's VRMMORPG ride one of these to face down other guilds riding other cool airships. Kaiba gets his own personal airship that can be summed up as "rocket-powered Blue-Eyes White Dragon head". | |

In The Legend of Korra, airship travel has become commonplace with more modern versions serving as patrol vessels for the police forces of Republic City and as transports for Equalist forces in their fight against benders. By Book 3, Team Avatar travels around in their own luxury airship, provided by Asami. | |

GURPS: Pyramid Vol 3 #64 "Pirates and Swashbucklers" includes an article called "Sailing the Open Skies", about using GURPS Spaceships rules to create Magitek and Steampunk airships, including examples: the Cloudclipper, a "sailpunk" flying boat powered by magical solar sails; the Seahorse, an assault cruiser with magical propellers, carrying Sand Flea Land, Sea and Air vehicles, all powered by elemental furnaces; and the Stormrider, a psychically controlled and powered living airship created from the remains of a telekinetic Living Gasbag called a Cloud-That-Hungers. | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: Chao Lingshen's airship, which serves as the stage for the final battle in the Festival Arc. When the group gets to the Magic World, there are cool airships everywhere, although they're somehow combined with the Flying Seafood Special. Haruna managed to get her hands on her own Cool Airship by drawing and selling dojinji to the lack of supply magic world and earned a fortune, and the Ala Alba uses it as their base. |

Final Fantasy VIII has two, sort of. The first is the Balamb Garden itself, which hovers above the ground a little and is fairly unique among airships in that its also a flying military academy... the coolness of the craft is debatable. However the second airship is the Ragnarok, which is much smaller than the Garden, but has a sleek design, a forward mounted gatling gun, grappler claws, and is capable of space flight, and serves as much more so the 'cool' ship of the game... not to mention it looks like a dragon. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has the Stormwind Ark, also called the Wind Temple. This one looks more like a traditional water-based rowing ship, but in the sky. It's surrounded by lots of smaller airships that have huge trampolines on their decks. Link and Tulin travel up to the Stormwind Ark, climbing up Sky Islands and bouncing off the airship trampolines, because it's at the center of the blizzard vortex that is devastating Rito Village and seems to have some connection to the storm. | |

Space 1889 has many of these, usually of flying battleship variety. Some of them are actually regular navy ships modified for aerodynamics and fitted with anti-gravitic propulsion. On Venus there the anti-gravity liftwood deteriorates very quickly, there are also traditional Zeppelins, before they came into being historically. | |
