0 a large aircraft without wings, used especially in the past, consisting of a large bag filled with gas that is lighter than air and driven by engines. Passengers were carried in a structure hanging below.
After the war, airships continued to be developed for military and commercial purposes.
Although travel in commercial airships with solid frames was stopped after the Hindenburg accident, a similar type of airship, known as a blimp, is still made and flown to this day.
Germany also used airships in World War I to bomb British cities.
In 1937, the airship Hindenburg caught fire while trying to land in New Jersey, USA.
In the 19th century, balloons were redesigned to create the first passenger airships.
The first passenger airline was the German DELAG company, which started commercial airship flights in 1910.
While the cigar-shaped balloon looks similar to the old solid-frame airships, the blimp’s balloon body has no frame and is kept in shape by air pressure.
