I never knew that there were airship stats in the DMG! I do know that in Eberron, they have a speed of 20mph, or 176 feet/6 seconds
I don't think that's an Elemental Airship. The airship stats are on page 119 of the 2014 DMG or 230 of the 2024 PHB. There is no indication of whether this is an Eberron Elemental Airship, a Blimp/Dirigible, or other aerial vehicle. It costs 40,000 GP (20,000 GP in 2014), which is oddly more expensive than most Spelljammers (if you can create your own Spelljamming helm, only 6 out of 15 would be more expensive).
In 3.5e, I you could buy an Elemental Airship for 92,000 GP. Using the speed (100 feet per round) from that stat block, the Elemental Airship should be closer 11 miles per hour or more. If the Elemental needs to rest, that would be a daily travel of about 91 miles. If the Elemental does not need to rest (for the unethical tables...), that would be around 273 miles. In addition to being faster, the 3.5 version could also a much larger, 30 tons of cargo. I believe this was for a smaller version of the Elemental Airships, not a full size one that House Lyrander typically use.
Ah. Tables don’t show up in searches, so I didn’t see that, but now I found it. Thanks!

While I'm sure they don't have the detailed stats that vehicles are printed with now, I can't find them. Either of you mind sharing?

Of course, environments. And here I was looking for vehicles in stupid places like exploration, expenses, and treasure when I got desperate.

You can find some airship rules on fandom.
