How do these airships fly?
Indreams:
Probably F= 1/2 P v^2 C A or something utilizing that.
Might be the simplified version of F = k v^2.
All ship's maximum vertical velocity is at around 16m/s. I don't have the data to do the math on the fly, but you could probably run some interesting drag physics.
Pickle:
The magic of aether.
* Used within the manufacture of a steel alloy it produces fantastical increase in the strength of the material, reducing the required mass of structural components. Likewise, cultured wood from trees grown in an aether enriched atmosphere is both stronger and lighter than normal wood.
* Intermixed with Hydrogen it reduces flammability and increases the lift. It's also easily blended into or extracted from the lift gas by means of an aetheric pump with the correct membrane, allowing full control of rise or descent without ballast and compensating for damage to the gas cells. It also explains the otherwise unexplainable balloon engine mechanic.

Even magic can't lift these pieces of (s)crap with that small of a balloon.
Indreams:
Kirbies. Lots of Kirbies.
I'll let your imagination do the rest. :P

"Captain! We are losing altitude!"
"Blast! Toss more Kirbies in the boiler."
