About the Dirigible airship, long streamlined balloon with several tail fins and a small gondola, side view

A dirigible is another name for a steerable airship, and the word itself means 'able to be directed.' Its long, smooth body is filled with lifting gas, and tail fins plus engines let the pilot guide it left, right, up, and down. That is the big difference from a simple balloon, which can only float wherever the wind carries it. Follow the streamlined shape past its tail fins to the little gondola below.

• The word dirigible means 'steerable,' which is what sets it apart from a balloon.
• Fins at the tail help a dirigible turn and stay pointed the right way.
