Airships

Airships are if not the best way for long-distance travel in Gaia. As most small vehicles include automobiles and bikes, cargo, military and long-distance cruise-liners often use airships to get to point A to Point B.
Airships were championed by Silverwind for the longest time back in the early days, and it was not untill Icians of Sivudlerk started to build flying machines.
Of course the fact that beastfolk were the first to act on the idea of airships, after the first protoypes were launched. Humans grew jealous and started to make them bigger and supposidly better. This led to a global increase of airship manufacturing and the rise of several airship companies that built them.

Power Generation

Most Airships are powered by either Ather crystals, to diesal engines, even some have nuclear cores that run along side the ships. The later in the years the people got in Gaia, the more larger and advanced these ships became, and with it, the power supply had to get bigger as well.
Most ships run on a Mix of Ethenol and Aetherium, for a quiet and strong engine. While other louder machines use Jet Engines, to Diesel engines. There also was at some point that mana-infused ships were produced, but they were still a prototype.

Propulsion

AIrships use a system of Jet Engines and propellers, while the more simple ones are refered to zepplins, and use hydrogen baloons. Most Iarships use Jet Engines to stay aloft, and heavy use of Aetherium to keep the ships in the air without moving. They manuver much like a ship or spacecraft would.
There are several types of Airships that use different engines and Propellants.

• Aether Class

-The basic airship and the most used, they use a combination of Jet engines that use Aetherium Engines.

• Oxyos Class

-Airships that use an oxygen-hydrogen propulsion, these are usually refered to as Stingers, small yet fast airships.

• Diesal Class

-Airships that run on propellers that use Diesel engines. Known to be loud and cumbersome, however these ships can also be amongst the largest and non-aerodynamic

• Zepplin Class

-These airships are essentiall zepplin blimps that use Diesal Propellers to accelerate and decelerate. They are easiy spotted by the large Baloon or collections of Baloons on the vehicle.

• Aquarius Class

-These airships are a hybrid of a Sea-bound ship and an airship. They are able to both sail in the Sea and Sail in the sky. Either by Diesal, or Aether engines.

• Atom Class

-These are airships that run on Nuclear engines. Due to the use of Nuclear weapons in the past, these airships have started to fade out of favor for the much more safe and powerful Aether classes.

• Manaflow Class

-The rarest form of airships seen on Gaia, powered by mana the very same energy that mages and mana users tap upon.
