During the mid and late 19th century there was a boom of airship development. The cigar-shaped envelope became fairly standardized across the designs by the 1870s with most of the innovation occurring around propulsion and steering. With the launch of ''The Burgundie'' ([[Burgoignesc language|BG]]: La Burgondia) in [[1886]] by the [[Army of Burgundie]], the Army not the royal court became the primary driver behind aerostat development, under the Airship Brigade. It was under their command that the various aerostat designs were given secondary importance and the dirigible became the primary airship in [[Burgundie]]. | During the mid and late 19th century there was a boom of airship development. Some more successful than others. In order to prove the durability of a waxed-paper crafted balloon, a [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] businessman Phineaux Phogg tried to cross the [[Sea of Istorya]] in [[1874]], but was lost in the fog by the [[Navy of Burgundie]] ship that was following him and never found again.
