* ''Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus'': The ''Argo II'' is a flying Greek trireme. While the ballistae that fire exploding bolts are cool, the best feature is the control systems, which include a keyboard and monitor, aviation controls of a Lear jet, a dubstep soundboard, and a [[UsefulNotes/NintendoWii Wiimote]].

* ''Film/{{Zeppelin}}'' involves a fictional secret mission undertaken by a [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarI Prussian Germany]] prototype zeppelin, the "LZ36", to sneak an assault team into Britain and steal or destroy various historical documents, such as the Magna Carta. The plan goes bust partially thanks to TheHero, a mole sent by the British to infiltrate the team.

can we get a different quote on here that's not from a fucking Nazi?


->''"[Airships] put me in mind of a man who invents a floor that is perfectly smooth, beautifully patterned, never requires cleaning, and never wears out. Unfortunately, the floor cannot be walked upon with nailed shoes or have anything dropped on it, because it's made of high explosive."''
-->-- '''UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler'''

* The ''Anime/Moomin1990'' anime adds a plotline spanning multiple episodes about Snork building a flying ship, which looks like a large boat with wings and and multiple helicopter-like rotors. Most residents of Moominvalley (especially Moomintroll) are amazed at the thought of a ship flying through the air, but unfortunately, it's never properly used as it consumes too much fuel and was destroyed in "The Big Explosion" before a solution to this problem could be found. Snork then gets right back to work building a new model, this one resembling a hot air balloon with propellers, and while it's much smaller, it's also more practical and is successfully flown in the Season 1 finale.

* ''State of Survival: Zombie War'' (its most current name) from [=FunPlus International AG=], is set in a ZombieApocalypse where even with a vast number of heroes rising up, including [[IntercontinuityCrossover guest stars]] such as [[ComicBook/DetectiveComics the Joker]], Dale from Series/TheWalkingDead and characters from VideoGame/ResidentEvil, humanity was struggling in a war against the heavily mutated undead. That is unitl the turning point for humanity, your science team develop high-tech zeppelins packed with bombs, rockets, cannons and autocannons to blast zombies from the safety of the skies rather than sending [[ScavengerWorld Mad Max-style]] ragtag armies of "infantry" that end up filling your hospitals with casualties. At least that's what [[GameplayAndStorySegregation was advertised.

* In ''Ack-Ack Macaque'', the titular protagonist lives [[TwentyMinutesInTheFuture in 2050s]] of an AlternateTimeline where nuclear-powered zeppelins were the norm since the 1970s Oil Shock. The Tereshkova is one example dating back from the 1980s and still had plenty of years left as a luxury liner until it was shot down by the Songoku, which is a NighInvulnerable nuclear airship [[TheDreadedDreadnought dreadnought]] from another [[AirshipsFromAnotherWorld dimension]] where technology improves at a much faster rate.

* ''Steam Defense'' is set in a distant future where humans have combined {{Steampunk}} with technology of TheFuture to reach a level analogous to ''Film/{{Avatar}}''. The Airship is humanity's ultimate non-HeroUnit, besides being extremely durable and fairly well-armoured, it also boasts multiple rapid-fire missile launchers to devastate both ground and air units. The airship also bears a unique [[AestheticsOfTechnology high-tech appearance]] as its balloon is encased in armour.

* Downplayed in ''Kingdom Wars 2'' from ''Springcomes'', the Battleship is a Super Legendary unit and it's description mentions how this blimp was made by top inventors. Unfortunately what it actually is, is a 3rd rate bomber, periodically dropping bombs directly below it. This means units that aren't stationary can often avoid the worst of its attacks and since it can't fly directly over an enemy castle, it causes minimum damage only thru splash damage while taking direct fire from enemy defence. The Eagle Shooter meanwhile is a Rare unit that's BoringButPractical. It's an unimpressive-looking hot air balloon with an [[AutoCrossbow automatic ballista]] which gives it some range.
