It is hard to imagine just how big the Hindenburg was.
Hindenburg and United States Capitol
Hindenburg and R.M.S. Queen Mary:
Hindenburg and Boeing 747-400:
Hindenburg and Goodyear Blimp (GZ-20A):
But then again, Hindenburg needed room for interiors like this:
Hindenburg’s Dining Room
Materials Science can now provide us with constrction materials that are lighter and stronger than anything that was available when Hindenburg was created. It must have been a woderful moment when, during inflation and ballasting, she began to oh-so-gently leave the ground inch by gradual inch. Then the moment when the engines were started and she began to mmove forward, swimming through the air. Airliners are wonderful, but airships are magnificent! Per adua ad astra with Helium!
Real cool thing.
Was a giant airship, the Hindenburg.
Is there a size comparison with the Manned Cloud?
Since the “Manned Cloud” is fake, I wasn’t really planning on it. 🙂
Nice work on the graphic size comparisons.
I would like to see one with the Z-NT.
Is Goodyear’s new Zepp any larger than the older NT’s ?
I may work on a graphic with the NT.
The Goodyear NT (model LZ N07-101) has the same essential dimensions as the basic NT variant (model LZ N07-100).
