I believe the answer is:

blimp

(Other definitions for blimp that I've seen before include "Large inflatable" , "David Low's cartoon colonel - airship used for publicity" , "Airship - barrage balloon" , "Elderly pompous reactionary person" , "Small nonrigid airship" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
