Difference between Airplane and Airship

Airplane vs. Airship

An airplane or aeroplane (informally plane) is a powered, fixed-wing aircraft that is propelled forward by thrust from a jet engine, propeller or rocket engine. An airship or dirigible balloon is a type of aerostat or lighter-than-air aircraft that can navigate through the air under its own power.

Similarities between Airplane and Airship

Airplane and Airship have 14 things in common (in Unionpedia): Aeronautics, Airborne aircraft carrier, Alberto Santos-Dumont, English Channel, Fighter aircraft, Fixed-wing aircraft, Flight International, Fuselage, Radar, Solar cell, Tonne, Unmanned aerial vehicle, World War I, World War II.

Aeronautics

Aeronautics (from the ancient Greek words ὰήρ āēr, which means "air", and ναυτική nautikē which means "navigation", i.e. "navigation into the air") is the science or art involved with the study, design, and manufacturing of air flight capable machines, and the techniques of operating aircraft and rockets within the atmosphere.
