Requiem Vampire Knight features airships very prominently, but the biggest example is the S.S. Satanik, Dracula's personal flagship: its a colossal monster that makes Men o'War look like boats in comparison, its crewed by 5,000 vampires, plus 500 victims and a team of 400 Archaeologists to maintain the ship.

Airships are very ancient and poorly understood aircraft. The simple definition of an airship is a powered, steerable aircraft that uses buoyant gas, often helium or hot air, but also hydrogenin the past, to lift some or all of its structure. The "steerable" part distinguishes them from balloons (which have no propulsion mechanism and drift with th...
Not all Zeppelins were built by the Zeppelin company. However, as stated above, the word Zeppelin has become more or less synonymous with rigid airships regardless of their manufacturer. Those made by other companies included the USS Akron and the USS Macon, the U. S. Navy's flying aircraft carriers, as well as the Schutte-Lanz series used by Germa...
Airships are often portrayed in the media as being Made of Explodium, which is somewhat justified, as there were dozens of hydrogen-related airship crashes, but oftentimes even helium blimps will be shown exploding in flames for no reason. The public at large seems to stereotype airships as ruinously expensive, disaster-prone, obsolete aircraft, wi...
Airships operate on two foundational principles: buoyancy, or Archimedes' Principle, and the Square-Cube Law. Airships do not float because they are light; on the contrary, they can weigh hundreds of tons. Rather, they float because their average density is reduced by their lift gas, which means that their weight is displaced by the helium and supp...
The inside of a large airship is unlike any other aircraft. Because airships are both much larger and much less structurally dense than other aircraft, combined with the fact that they can carry larger payloads than any other type of aircraft, they must have very large, spacious interiors in order to facilitate proper weight distribution throughout...
Airships were a dream of early aviators even before the first manned balloon flew in 1783. In 1852, Henri Giffard first flew in a tiny 113,000 cubic foot blimp powered by a 3-horsepower steam engine which weighed several hundred pounds. It had a less-than-impressive top speed of six miles per hour. Airships would then go on to be powered by electri...
After the war, the military and the public at large became fascinated with airships. This ushered in the "Golden Age of Airships," which began in the mid 1920s and ended by 1940. In the interim, militaries successfully experimented with creating true airborne aircraft carriers. Advertisers found small blimps useful for carrying brand logos, and the...
Though the Graf Zeppelin and the Zeppelin airline in general became known as an icon of safety, like all aircraft of the time, there were still safety problems. The size of airships had increased rapidly, but the materials, design, flight procedures and technology of the early 20th century were all still extremely primitive. Even the Americans, who...
After the devastating tragedy that ended rigid airship travel just as it was beginning, Helium blimps continued on, defending Allied convoys from Axis submarines with stunning success during World War II. During the war, they escorted over 89,000 ships, losing only one to a submarine attack; as convoys that weren't protected were sunk left and righ...
By the 1980s, airship technology had atrophied to such an extreme, even advertising was proving to be complicated for airships. Then, a British company called Airship Industries introduced the next generation of airships. Their successful "Skyship" series of airships are in use to this day, and employ advanced composite materials, ducted fans, and ...

Airship Dracula is some sort of newfangled lightly-interactive animated steampunk version of Dracula, starring Alan Tudyk. I stumbled across it about six months ago, but just finally sat down and watched it tonight.
