Airships Fleet
If you wanted variety of airship/zeppelin type vehicles, then this mod might give you that.
Mod adding few propeller-powered helium-filled airship vehicles and hot air balloons vehicles of different size and capacity. All airships have high fuel efficiency, due to rellying on helium for buoyancy in the air, but have low air speed. Hot air balloons is simple vehicles and available through early research, but not as fast.
Observing the movement of drying clothes near a campfire led to experiments with hot air, which led to the creation of the first hot air balloon "Woodpecker". It allowed to move freely through the air over short distances.
Size: 3×3
Fuel: 75 Wood
Cost to make: 400 Wood, 50 Steel, 750 Cloth
Cargo: 90
Operators: 1
A new hot air balloon design was developed with the popularization of chemfuel use. Chemfuel burner of "Sapsucker" provided better fuel efficiency, flight range and more space in the basket.
Size: 3×3
Fuel: 150 Chemfuel
Cost to make: 400 Wood, 100 Steel, 750 Cloth, 5 Component
Cargo: 125
Operators: 2 (min 1)
Early experiments with helium led to the creation of the first helium-filled propeller-powered airship "Swallow". It allowed for transportation of cargo and passengers across the map no matter the terrain.
Size: 3×5
Fuel: 150 Chemfuel
Cost to make: 400 Steel, 500 Cloth, 15 Component, 150 Helium
Cargo: 500
Pilots: 1
Passengers: 2
The development of international relations and increased volume of trade required the development of a new type of airship. Thus "Corsair" propeller-powered helium-filled airship was brought to light. It can provide bigger flight range and cargo capacity.
Size: 5×11
Fuel: 450 Chemfuel
Cost to make: 1000 Steel, 1500 Cloth, 40 Component, 450 Helium
Cargo: 2000
Pilots: 1
Passengers: 10
Once the need for heavy lifting arrived, the largest of it kind the "Whale" was born. This massive helium-filled propeller-powered airship is capable of carrying tons of cargo and dozens of passengers.
Size: 9×21
Fuel: 3000 Chemfuel
Cost to make: 3000 Steel, 6000 Cloth, 160 Component, 1500 Helium
Cargo: 10000
Pilots: 3 (min 1)
Passengers: 48
A lighter-than-air gas that has density lower than normal atmospheric gases and rises above them as a result. It is required for airships to create buoyancy.
Helium can be made on Biofuel Refinery with Chemfuel to Helium ratio 2:1 after research.
Two people on airship get lost due to storm.

Should have no compatibility issues with other mods, unless Vehicle Framework have.
Supported languages: English, Russian.
Machine translated: Chinese (Simplified and Traditional).
Airships Fleet mod should be safe to add to existing save. But when you want to remove it, better make backup save just in case and deconstruct all airships, if you wanna resources back.
– 2 airships (waiting for aerial combat to be added)
