[Leica] IMG: More Blimp Details

[Jim Nichols]

Here a few more shots of the Goodyear Blimp N1A drive system.  It is 
said to be powered by three Lycoming 180HP aircraft engines.  I have 
found no details, but it would appear that the side engines are mounted 
so that the thrust can be directed as needed.  The rear props offer 
thrust for pitch and yaw control.  I do not know if they can provide 
forward thrust.
