Aether currents

Currents in the upper aetherosphere which dirigibles use to travel long distances at much greater speeds than they would normally be able to attain.
== Notable currents ==
* Gibraltar Loop ~ services an oval shape roughly southwards from London over the North Atlantic and Portugal to Gibraltar and then northwards back up over Spain (Madrid) and France (Paris). [from Prudence]
* Mediterranean Shift ~ flows eastwards over most of the Mediterranean sea from Gibraltar into inland Turkey, passes over the Maltese Tower. [from Prudence]
* European Flow ~ flows southeast from Northern Ireland over London and central Europe towards Constantinople. [from Prudence & Reticence]
* Tripoli Twister ~ high current, passes over the Maltese Tower, any dirigible inside it constantly rotates, disorientating, oval current roughly serving Malta to Baghdad, then northwards to the southeastern shore of the Caspian Sea, then eastwards over the Black Sea, then back downwards over Greece, and back to Malta. Difficult to use. [from Prudence]
* Damascus Draw ~ smooth & reliable moves eastwards in a wide northern arc, making it from the Mediterranean via Damascus into the southern parts of the Caspian Sea before heading down into India. It's slow. [from Prudence] 
* Central Hyderabad Waft ~ a mid level current that moves south east towards Bombay (Mumbai) from Baghdad. [from Prudence]
