Stupid question: how do you handle air resistance on a windy day? I always thought that's what made blimps inherently uneconomical (though can also imagine maintenance costs are high). An airplane has very little drag compared to its lift capacity. I don't really know, but expect a blimp to be terrible in comparison. Fine for stationary lifting, but expensive when you want to move things horizontally, against the wind.
