What was the biggest airship?
The largest airship ever made was the LZ 129 Hindenburg , a German passenger air ship built in 1936 for transatlantic flights. Hindenburg dropped in flames during one of the most amazing and well -promoted transit accidents of modern times just 14 months after it was built in May 1937, which meant the end of the so -called "Airships".
During his operational life, he has crossed Hindenburg Atlantic 35 times, including seven round trips to Rio de Janeiro and ten round trips to New York. The last trip from Germany to New York ended in a disaster because the largest airship in the world tried to anchor in New Jersey. Although it seriously damaged the popularity of airships, they began to revive in modern times, although the largest airship since 2010, Bullet 580 , is still significantly less than Hindenburg .
LARGUST AIRSHIP,which was produced in length and volume, Hindenburg length 804 feet (245 m), width of 135 feet (41 m) and the volume of about seven million cubic tracks (200,000 cubic meters). For comparison, bullet 580 has about 235 feet (about 71 m) long and 65 feet (about 19 m) in diameter. Hindenburg consisted of 17 gas cells compiled by cotton coated with an impermeable material that served as a seal, and was filled with a flammable hydrogen, which probably contributed to a fire that destroyed it. Overall, the largest in the world had the largest airship in the world by a lift of 1.1 meganowts, or £ 247,00, which was its approximate weight. The vessel could carry 90 passengers and crews and had a maximum speed of 80 mph (135 km/h), allowing him to exceed the Atlantic in three days, at that time a record.
Before Hindenburg, the airships were built for slightly over two centuries because in 1784 the French brothers Montgolfier and Hbalon Ot-Air built and became the first confirmationby the passengers of the airships. Only in 1853 was the first full size-ASI 145 feet (44 m)-Vyhucholoď, which led to the beginning of the "golden age of airships" in 1900. It started with the construction of LZ 1 Zeppelin to be the first Zeppelin, the most successful class in history. Because the flight was heavier than the air was not invented until 1903 and its use for a large number of passengers remained impractical until commercial jet engines in the early 1950s, the airship was the world leader in passengers until their popularity suffered after the 1937 disaster.
