What is a "blimp"?
A blimp is a large, inflatable airship that is used for advertising, surveillance, or transportation. Unlike a traditional airplane, a blimp has no internal structure and relies on gas, such as helium, to remain buoyant in the air. It is often used for aerial advertising, where large signs or logos are displayed on the sides of the blimp, making it visible from a great distance. Blimps are also used in events, such as sports, to provide aerial coverage or to simply attract attention.
