Music Unowned by me, School project Info on the creation on the Zeppelin
Zeppelin is a type of rigid airship pioneered by the German Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin in the early 20th century.
It was based on designs he had outlined in 1874 and detailed in 1893.
His plans were reviewed by committee in 1894 and patented in the United States on 14 March 1899.
Given the outstanding success of the Zeppelin design,
the term zeppelin in casual use came to refer to all rigid airships. Zeppelins were operated by the Deutsche
Luftschiffahrts . DELAG, the first commercial airline, served scheduled flights before World War I.
After the outbreak of war, the German military made extensive use of Zeppelins as bombers and scouts.
The World War I defeat of Germany in 1918 halted the airship business temporarily. But under the guidance of
Hugo Eckener, the deceased Count's successor, civilian zeppelins became popular in the 1920s. Their heyday was during the
1930s when the airships LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin and LZ 129 Hindenburg operated regular transatlantic flights from
Germany to North America and Brazil. The Art Deco spire of the Empire State Building was originally if impractically
designed to serve as a dirigible terminal for Zeppelins and other airships to dock. The Hindenburg disaster in 1937,
along with political and economic issues, hastened the demise of the Zeppelin.
Before World War I, a total of 21 Zeppelin airships (LZ 5 to LZ 25) were manufactured. In 1909 LZ 6 became
the first Zeppelin used for commercial passenger transport. The world's first airline, the newly founded DELAG,
bought seven Zeppelins by 1914.
The airships were given names in addition to their production numbers, four of which were LZ 8 Deutschland
II (1911), LZ 11 Viktoria Luise (1912),
LZ 13 Hansa (1912) and LZ 17 Sachsen (1913). Seven of the twenty-seven were destroyed in accidents,
mostly while being moved into their halls. There were no casualties. One of them was LZ 7 Deutschland
which made its maiden voyage on 19 June 1910. On 28 June it began a pleasure trip to make Zeppelins more popular.
Among those aboard were 19 journalists, two of whom were reporters of well known British newspapers. LZ 7 crashed
in bad weather at Mount Limberg near Bad Iburg in Lower Saxony, its hull getting stuck in trees. The crew then let
down a ladder to allow all the passengers to leave the ship. One crew member was slightly injured on leaving the craft
The German Army and Navy purchased 14 Zeppelins, who labeled their airships Z 1/2/...
and L 1/2/..., respectively. During the war, the Army changed their scheme twice: followi
When World War I broke out, the military also took over the three remaining DELAG ships.
By this time, it had already decommissioned three other Zeppelins (LZ 3 "Z 1" included).
Before the war the Army had lost three zeppelins to accidents, in which two people had died.
The Navy lost two, both in 1913: a storm forced Navy Zeppelin LZ 14 or "L 1" down into the North Sea,
drowning 14; LZ 18 or "L 2" burst into flames following an engine explosion, killing the entire crew.
These accidents deprived the Navy of a large number of experienced personnel.
By 1914, state-of-the-art Zeppelins had lengths of 150 to 160 metres (490 to 520 ft)
and volumes of 22,000--25,000 m3, enabling them to carry loads of around 9,000 kilograms
(20,000 lb). They were typically powered by three Maybach engines of around 400 to 550 horsepower
(300 to 410 kW) each, reaching speeds of up to 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph).
