The main problem of this first version of zeppelin was there were no elevators for pitch controls, or fins for stability. They use a 4-cylinder water-cooled Daimler gasoline engine, and each engine is connecter by long shafts to two outrigger propellers mounted on either side of the hull.
There are two metal gondolas below the ship, and each produces about 14 horsepower. First made zeppelin contained approximately 11.300 cubic meters of hydrogen which was packed into 17 gas cells made of rubberized cotton fabric. When you think of the size of it the question arises: how was it built in the 1930s?įunnily, the answer is too simple – by using the largest ladders you can imagine. The form of a zeppelin is probably familiar to all – it has a shape similar to today’s rocket ships. Is there more to Zeppelins than military usage? What are Zeppelins made of? In this text we are going to reveal the mystery of Zeppelins: large constructions usually remembered as airships used by Germans to transport bombs during World War II. We define them as aircraft used for flying, which is filled with a gas lighter than air. Zeppelins have an important role in aviation development. Although only airships produced by this company are true zeppelins, fastly all airships adopted that name. Zeppelins look “like long tubes” and they were very popular rigid airship form originally manufactured by Luftschiffsbau Zeppelin.
