How fast does the GoodYear Blimp go?

Question

Im looking at it right now, its cruising over Detroit. my guess is it goes about 50 mph??

Answer 1

No that is relative to your view, I would say it goes closer to 100 MPH, remeber airplanes fly like 300-400 mph

Answer 2

In other words, no one here really knows and is just guessing as usual. Why don't the people who answer these questions GET THE FACTS BEFORE you answer? If the person who asked the question wanted a guess he/she would have said so.
I got this off the Internet:
How fast and how far can the Goodyear blimp go?

The usual cruising speed is thirty-five miles per hour in a zero wind condition; all-out top speed is fifty-three miles per hour on the GZ20. As to cruising range: the ship can carry enough fuel to fly for twenty- four hours, although it rarely does so. When traveling cross-country the blimps fly wherever they go, and the crews try for an eight-hour day, or about 300 air miles.

Answer 3

Between 30-60 mph!

Answer 4

Well since I have actually riden in one I know that its fastest speed is 50 mph but typically cruises at 20 to 40 mph.....oh and its a blast to ride.

Answer 5

Top speed of 37 - 38mph but cruise at 33 - 34 mph :)

Answer 6

Cruising speed is about 35mph - top speed about 53.
