Taking Flight

Watch the new Blimp take flight

The new Goodyear Blimp conducted its inaugural test flight on March 17, 2014. The new model is vastly different in terms of take-off and landing as the vectored engines allows for a more vertical lift pattern.

Watch the GZ-20A take flight

As it has done thousands of times, the GZ-20A model vaults into the sky for another day of operations.

Blimp Facts: Flight

Most flights are at or near 1,000 to 1,500 feet. Goodyear prefers to keep the airship at this altitude so that people can see it more easily.
