But the Airlander crashes slower than a J3.

(Here's an appetizer for you engineering nerds. You gotta cook the main course. Go to work boys!)

Long balloons or long ships...
The problems of side-thrust affecting these lengthy shapes are the same.
So work with nature.

A sailboat does just that, almost directly into the wind.
Take opposing energy and put it to use.

[after receiving the order to abort the attack on the Japanese Task Force]

Strike Leader: Read you loud and clear. Strike force, this is strike leader. Return to base, mission aborted.

F-14 pilot #1: Mission aborted? But we can see 'em!

F-14 pilot #2: They're gonna let the Japs do it again.
