Everything was conserved as ballast, since anything that lightened the ship increased the amount of lifting gas that had to be valved to maintain static equilibrium.

I wish they still had airships like that. I love them, or any air ships.

I am a P.C. Pilot and have some great aircraft in my hanger, including 1930’s types. Now I MUST get an airship from somewhere.
Thanks lots for your work in collating so much info.

I have suggested that there may be certain ‘mechanisms’ that account for the non-existence of LTA industry. We know that the evolving process, history, of LTA was a phenomenon that occurred not just in Germany. However, thanks to Von Zeppelin, he made sure that his country picked up that ball and ran with it.
Germany was not the only country to attempt developement of rocketry. Nazi’s ran with that one, big time. Yet the US space program is not much compromised by NAZI origins, or, at least, significant NAZI component of origins of US space & rocketry program, etc. It is not my intention, here, to beat the drum for Germany’s sake. God forbid! But, in pursuing my interest of LTA history, it rather occurs to me that Germany succeeded where others did not, could not, etc., for whatever reason. (And if you think I’m puffing my ancestry, I’m not German. I’m an American with mostly Brit and French ancestry or nationality background.) Consider for a moment how the beginnings of German LTA industry might have proceeded had Germany, in fact, had helium from the get-go…
As for the “C” word, it is certainly not Boeing or anyone else’s job to promote a LTA industry. I think The HTA manufacturers make great products. Nor do I think that HTA involves itself in any public relations activity (or scheming) to keep LTA ostracized. In fact, I think a few decades back Boeing had some people involved with R&D for LTA.
So the mind of the public wants maximum speed, minimum time.

Königsberger Klopse. That brings back memories of my German Grandmother.

I’m afraid that my reaction to this dish was the same as the American passengers on the Zeppelins–I HATED it.

Its remarkable how modern and contemporary the interior design and furniture is in most of these interior shots!

If some put forward they were from some trendy cafe or bar today, you could quite well believe it to be true!?

I have pictures of the 45 ft Hindenburg model i designed and constructed in 1986. i’m looking at them now as i embark on construction of the Eiffel tower model and wish to build both at @ 100ft. I have special light effects to add to the Tower.
i remember the Hindenburg project as overwhelming.
