Essay topics:

An airship is a type of aircraft that flies using a very large balloon filled with a lighter-than-air gas. Airships were an important means of air transportation before the 1940s but are little used today, having been largely replaced by airplanes and helicopters.However,some aeronautical engineers believe that airships could become popular again because they offer a number of advantages over airplanes and helicopters.

One advantage of airships is that for vertical lift(the force that keeps the ship airborne),they use a balloon that floats rather than an engine.Airplanes and helicopters use engines for both vertical lift and horizontal movement,but airships use engines solely for horizontal movement.So,airships use less fuel than a typical aircraft-thus making their fuel costs more economical.

Another advantage of airships is that they can be used in hard-to-reach locations.Unlike airplanes, airships do not require a long runway for takeoff and landing because of their ability to lift off and land vertically.The only other aircraft capable of ascending into the sky by going straight up and descending straight down to the ground is the helicopter,which can carry only a small amount of weight.Airships,meanwhile,are able to carry very heavy loads.As a result,airships could do jobs that neither airplanes nor helicopters can do,such as carrying heavy logs from forests to distribution centers.

Finally,airships could even be used to replace satellites.Currently, satellites are launched into Earth's orbit carying all kinds of equipment important in telecommunications or in surveying large areas of Earth's surface for military purposes.Since airships can also rise high above the surface and stay there without refueling for a significant amount of time,they could provide services similar to those provided by satellites,and at a considerably cheaper cost.

Both the reading passage and the lecturer discuss the possibility of using airships in the future. While the reading passage brings up three advantages of using airship, the lecturer finds them impractical and provides some evidence to refute them.

First, the writer asserts that airships don't need fuel to move, like ballon, in spite of helicopteres and planes. Therefore, it will be a economic option comparison to airplanes and helicopteres. On the other hand, the lecturer declares that the airships need light gasses as hydrogen and helium. Hydrogen significantly suseptable to fire, as the past accidents of the airship shown. Helium is more fire resistance, but it is expensive and obtain difficultly. So the best safe and cost-beneficial option is using contemporary transits like airplanes.

Second, the author argues that airships can exert to some particular duty in some especial locations due to their ability to take-off and land without using spacious location like airplanes. Also they can load more than helicopters. For example, they can load three logs in same time. Conversely, the professor acclaims that the airships need to be steady in doing these duties. But, they are so light that winds in such altitude easily can disturb their balanced.

Finally, the writer says that the airships can be used to replace satellites. They will be economicly rather than modern satellites due their indepency to fuels. In contrast, the professor indicates that the past airship could reach to 14 kilometers eventually and they need fuel to resist w
