Blimps, airplanes, and rockets operate under three very different principles. Which operates by way of buoyancy? Bernoulli’s principle? Newton’s third law?

Blimps function by way of buoyancy, airplanes by the Bernoulli effect, and rockets by way of Newton’s third law. Interesting, Newton’s third law also plays a significant role in airplane flight—wing pushes air downward; air pushes wing upward.
