An airship (飛行船 Hikōsen?) is a lighter-than-air craft that uses buoyant gasses to float in the air. Due to their passive flotation abilities, an airship can possess a greater range and fuel efficiency than airplanes, such as a flying boat.[citation needed]
Airships vary in their design, but most appear to possess a rigid frame due to the ribbing that can be seen through the envelope, and the envelope themselves do not deflate once the airship has landed.[1]
Prior to the year 850, airships were only in possession of nations outside of Paradis Island, due to its century-long isolation from the rest of the world. However, by 854 the Survey Corps have obtained their own airship to extract its troops from its raid on Liberio.[citation needed]
History
In the year 817, Marley was operating at least one airship. This airship was followed by Grisha and Faye Yeager out of the internment zone to its hangar, where they would get punished by Marleyan officers of the PSA for trespassing. After his physical punishment, Grisha was allowed to continue watching the craft with the officer.[2]
Sometime later on Paradis Island, Armin Arlert's parents attempted to escape the Walls using a hot air balloon. Unfortunately, the Military Police caught wind of their attempt, and they were promptly killed, leaving Armin an orphan.[3][4]
