Carriers are perhaps the most seen, namely the Condor, which carries the Storm Hawks' Skimmers and Heliscooter.

These were essentially simple wooden bowls with a large balloon affixed to the top. This balloon would then be filled with heat by a fire mage allowing it to gain a minimal amount of altitude. Initially these were uncontrollable and flowed with the whims of the winds, but with the addition of an air mage or two carefully controlling the local flow of wind they could gain some small measure of control over the vessel.

Airships can be outfitted with a wide array of weapons to defend itself or provide support to deployed Sky Knights/Talons and are used in almost every episode of Storm Hawks. Many of the villians possess Airships as well, such as the Murk Raiders' Blood Crow, and Snipe's unnamed battle cruiser (which was so overloaded with weapons it could barely fly, and ended up crashing into the Wastelands when he refused to reroute power to the engines). Many other Sky Knights and Squadrons have Airships, such as the Neck Deeps' Skyquod. Airships are one of the most used vehicles in Storm Hawks next to Skimmers and Heliscooters. Airships can fly high up into the stratosphere, as well as low into the Wastelands, making it a very versatile means of transportation. However, the dense clouds of Terra Deep can crush an airship's hull if they go too deep into the cloud banks. Airships each have a Time Pulse Code, which is a unique, 46-digit code only written on a ships' ownership card, and is supposedly used in a similar manner as an automobile's VIN number as a means of identification. The Condor's, according to Stork, is "198-376-572-894-782-746-738-928-375-847-367-436-573-875-6438." This article is a . You can help My English Wiki Wiki by expanding it.

- A marvel of magic and technology, the Airship has gone through many iterations before the modern Magitech ship that is seeing wide use over the Empire and the world was constructed. The first airships were little more than hot air balloons, created by what some may call pioneers but others madmen. These were essentially simple wooden bowls with a large balloon affixed to the top. This balloon would then be filled with heat by a fire mage allowing it to gain a minimal amount of altitude. Initially these were uncontrollable and flowed with the whims of the winds, but with the addition of an air mage or two carefully controlling the local flow of wind they could gain some small measure of control over the vessel. The second phase of production was the attempt to remove the need for a mage entirely. This is when the Magisterium first started experimenting with self-contained magical devices, devices that exhibited magical properties independent of human control. This had already been proven possible on the small scale with 'enchanted' tools and weapons, but had yet to be attempted on a large scale. Through a series of trial and famously disastrous error, the engineers and mages at the Imperial College of Aeronautics finally produced a working prototype. This self-sustaining power source allowed for an increase in the size of ship as well as the length of journey possible. While these ships could be flown without a mage, the ship lacked maneuverability and could result in combustion. Further experimentation led to the second generation of airship engines. These incorporated a secondary air-based magic mechanism to allow fast horizontal speed as well as maneuverability. However these still were small in size and not big enough to carry any siege equipment. Experimentation into the arcane magics, particularly derivative applications of levitation, produced the third generations of airship engines. The third arcane component provided greater aerial stability and functionality under pressure. Finally the Empire had what it had always craved: a fully functional flying ship. Although this ship could be fully manned and piloted by non mages, the empire never does so as without mages to guide the process, the ship has limited capabilities and again, in the event of an emergency, has a tendency to explode quite violently. The Empire currently has twelve war-ready airships within its Navy, all of which are monstrous in size and fearsome to see along the horizon. Within the past few decades, leaks in airship technology have allowed shoddier airships in more common environments, such as trade and international transport. Hundreds of these smaller, more volatile airships exist in Aevonhold.

KG Death Bot KG fighters made an appearance as minor enemies as well. Airships did not make another appearance until The Lost Frontier, both in the form of flagships, the ACS Behemoth and Phantom Blade, but much more notably as planes: personal jet aircraft most commonly used as fighters and long-distance personal transport. Jak accumulated a sizable collection of his own planes by the end of The Lost Frontier, and could use them from the Phantom Blade's hangar. The Aeropan Navy also commissioned several different fighter planes, auxiliary aircraft, and large transport airships. Plane races were an available minigame on Brink Island and Sector Zero, organized by ace pilot Dirk Hardpeck.
