Quote:
The term zeppelin is a genericized trademark that originally referred to airships manufactured by the Zeppelin company. In modern common usage, the terms zeppelin, dirigible and airship are used interchangebly for any type of rigid airship, with the terms blimp or airship alone used to describe non-rigid airships. In modern technical usage however, airship is the term used for all aircraft of this type with zeppelin referring only to aircraft of that manufacture and blimp referring only to non-rigid airships.
