Currently, the propellers are powered by gasoline engines that rotate up and down to fly the airship and hold it in position. They also can spin it on its axis, provide lift, or land without the large ground crew and moorings required by blimps. Developers are considering diesel generators mounted inside the airship to run electrically powered propellers that would improve performance and maneuverability.
