Thanks for the interesting details Jim, I never really considered how you
"drive" one of those.

Subject: [OM] IMG: More Blimp Details
Here a few more shots of the Goodyear Blimp N1A drive system. It is said to be
powered by three Lycoming 180HP aircraft engines. I have found no details, but
it would appear that the side engines are mounted so that the thrust can be
directed as needed. The rear props offer thrust for pitch and yaw control. I
do not know if they can provide forward thrust.
Main engine locations:
