How Fast Can Blimps Travel?
The Usual Cruising Speed for a Gz-20 Is 35 Miles per Hour in a Zero Wind Condition; All-out Top Speed Is 50 Miles per Hour on the Gz-20 and 73 Mph for the New...

Thereof, how fast do Airships travel?
Airships can't go nearly as fast as airplanes; they could never carry truly time-sensitive cargo or compete with passenger flights. They are probably best at about 30-70 miles per hour, to keep drag down.
Similarly, how much do blimps cost? It's due at market in about two years for a price under US$200,000 compared to the smallest helium airship which costs US$2,000,000+ while a top-notch helium ship costs more than US$12 million. When not in use, the Personal Blimp can be deflated and folded for storage (much like a hot air balloon.)
Then, can you travel by blimp?
There's no word on how much a trip will cost on this flying cruise ship, but, in the meantime, you can take a tour of the swanky interior. Do you dream about riding in a blimp? It can only travel up to 148 km/h, but can stay aloft for up to two weeks.
Why are blimps no longer used?
Blimps are non-rigid lighter-than-air airships. The main reason is that they are very , very , very slow. They're also limited in lifting power. Hydrogen, which has the strongest lifting power is a mercurial gas to deal with because it is so reactive and it is hard to contain and store.
