How it's used
While technically referring to an airship or dirigible, this term is frequently used in science fiction contexts to describe futuristic spacecraft. It carries a sense of wonder or retro futurism rather than referring to modern commercial aviation. In everyday speech, people are more likely to use specific terms like 飛機 for standard aircraft.
