Zeppelin LZ1
The Zeppelin LZ! was an experimental airship that carried 5 men. 3 of those men were the engineers who flew the ship with forward and aft rudders. Even though it was experimental airship it was useful to help make other airships. In particular this zeppelin could go 3.7mph in 17 minutes. -
ZRS-4
The ZRS-4 also known as the USS Akron was 785ft long and 152ft heigh making it one of the biggest airships in that time period. This ship was used for the Navy the special thing that this ship can do is determain wether the air was clear below fog banks to desecnd with a spänkorb. Also they learned how to make the airships to go faster by using gas now this ship can go 58mph. -
Hindenburg
The incredible Hindenburg was the biggest airship of all times, there were only 2 of them both 803ft long with a 41 diameter. This ship was an passenger airship were people could sleep,dine,and sight see. The new thing with this ship is the aluminium powder this was used to reflect ultraviolet which damaged fabric, and it also reflects infraed light which makes gas hot. -
ZPG-2W
the ZPG-2W had a crew of 21 men on a airship with a 343ft length. the height of this ship was 107 and went 80mph. this ship was reall big on the inside with 4 floors, the second floor for the living space and the fourth was for working space. The ZPG-2W had something special about it and that special thing was a search radar to all ships to let them know about the sea from a far are about other sea boats. -
Skyship 600
For my last event I chose the Skyship 600 which was used for commerical advertising. This airship moves with helium, and if you dont know helium is not flammable to het thats why they chose it for the new design. The length of this airship is 216 ft and the hight of 72ft. The only downside about this machine is it moves 25mph due to the heluim not being strong enough.
