Tigermoth Airship

The Tigermoth was an airship that appears regularly in the Ghibli movie, Laputa: Castle in the Sky. It appears to be a plane/airship hybrid, with a gas filled pocket mounted on top, and wings with forward facing engines. The Tigermoth is never shown to stop or land, suggesting that it must always be moving forward to stay in the air. The Tigermoth carries multiple Flapters, small winged vehicles that carry two people each. The Tigermoth is manned by Dola and her seven sons, who play a major role in the movie

NOTES ON FLYING

- Only use the N and Z to enter hover mode
- The Flapters, with the slow boost, are just a little faster than the Tigermoth in hover mode.
- Due to the way the balloons inside are situated, the Tigermoth will pitch down sharply if you toggle off the Z engines without tilting the wings up.
