Aerostats use buoyancy from a lifting gas that is less dense than the surrounding air to achieve the lift needed to stay airborne.
An airship is a lighter-than-air aircraft that can steer and fly under its own power by using a gas less dense than air for lift. Airships have historical significance as early aircraft, most notably exemplified by the Hindenburg, the largest airship ever built before its destruction in 1937.
