My own personal airships on Secondlife
Swordfish
This is my third airship design that has three props for lift, two smaller ones in the front and a larger set of counter rotating blades at the back that has a vertical lift of 20 kph. the rear blades also aid in steering along with its side wings. It is propelled by a rotor in the rear that can push it at 70 kph. though it still has kinks to work out, it can be a sport airship. It is equipped with just a Heli script. The swordfish is for sale for 50 L$.
