Skyfarer
Dreamer
Sky ships. Flying boats. I'm just about willing to call them objectively cooler than regular water ships, and I'm damn sad that dirigibles are out of fashion. It's so cool to happen upon seeing one, on those rare moments they do.
Naturally then, I want to add them to my stories in some way. For today, I was wondering about how the traditional fantasy sky ship, the ones that look like regular sail ships but in the air, could feasibly work. I imagine that some suspension of disbelieve gonna be needed, but still, is it possible?
Could a regular wooden ship hold itself together in the air?
What would the sails accomplish?
How high could it go before the sailors couldn't stay on deck?
Of course, I intend to look more thoroughly into this matter myself, but I'd also like to get everyone's opinions as well. Let this be a fun discussion!
