It is important, Earthling.   Ask in Everything Questions Answers   2.13: What is the difference between the Blimp and the Flying Saucer? The difference is the shape and size of the helium balloon. The Tri-Turbofan Flying Saucer uses the 38" diameter round balloon. The Tri-Turbofan Blimp uses the 52" length blimp balloon. The balloons are interchangable. You can replace the saucer balloon with the blimp balloon - attach it to your Tri-Turbofan unit and you are ready to fly. The Tri-Turbofan Flying Saucer is smaller and more manueverable. The blimp is better for printing logo's on the side and has enough lift to carry the PTV16C wireless videocam. If you purchase either one of the Tri-Turbofan airships, you will be able to purchase spare saucer or blimp balloons and use them at any time. Prev: 2.12 What does LTA stand for?
