Another archive picture from the Duddleswell Herald. Believed to have been taken sometime in 1916. Duddleswell tea rooms were not damaged
Late in the evening flying one of the budgie zeppelins home for the evening, I glance out and see the sun setting behind opus with the Aether Conservatory closing. This sunset was just too beautiful to pass up the photo opportunity.

I photographed this with my iPhone at Arts in the Park last weekend, but it was amongst a slew of other metal art pieces tangling up the background, so I traced it out with a wacom tablet and added a clean sky shot. I only wish I had captured the front end of the propellers.
The Zeppelin 'Eureka' , based at Moffett Field in Northern California, visits Long Beach for a week. At 246 feet she is 54 ft longer than the Goodyear blimp (Hindenberg was 804 ft); it carries 12 passengers, instead of GY's 6. Rides here start at $199 for 30 minutes. But the cheapest flight in the San Francisco area is around $400. The Zeppelin has a rigid structure of aluminum and carbon fiber, and its interior bags are filled with non-flammable helium (Hindenberg flammable hydrogen) . Maximum speed 78 mph, but it cruises at 35-40 mph and 1200 feet for tours, using 4 vectored thrust engines. Since the scenery is to me a very important part of the ride, I chose not to fly now.

Me hice un tumblr sólo para dibujos y procesos de ellos.

My entry for Bricklink Designer Program series 8 - this time it is Zeppelin :) More details here www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-8/2855/Aviat...
Few people realise (outside of Germany, anyway) that Zeppelin also manufactured cars, as I discovered in the Zeppelin Museum in Friedrichshafen, sitting beneath a full-scale reconstruction of a segment of the Hindenburg airship which is ENORMOUS.
The Zeppelin Maybach DS8 sported an 8.0 L (7978 cc, 487 cubic inches) V12 which made 149 kW; 203 PS (200 bhp) at a fairly low 3200 rpm, putting the DS8 among the most powerful production cars in the world at the time. Depending on the weight of the coachwork, a top speed of 171 km/h (106 mph) was possible.
In August 2012, a 1938 DS8 Roadster sold for €1.3 million at auction, fitted with a rare Variorex eight-speed gearbox (both the first 8-speed and first 8-speed manual gearbox) with a vacuum shift and is thought to be one of only 100 built.
This is the last of the Zeppelin series (for now)

When Gorilla Grodd plots to use an anti-technology ray to make Gotham City susceptible to his army of pterodactyl-riding super-apes, the Batplane is useless. Luckily, Batman can call upon his stretchy pal Eel O'Brian, better known as Plastic Man. The Plas-Zeppelin flies into battle so these Brave and Bold heroes can defeat that malevolent monkey.
Built for the FBTB Wings of Justice contest.
In August of 1929 the Graf Zeppelin flew for 21 days and over 20,600 miles to become the first dirigible to circumnavigate the globe. Funded by William Randolph Hearst the rigid airship completed its world travels on August 29, landing in Lakehurst, NJ. Here the Graf Zeppelin sails over the Great Pyramids in stereoscope on another of its tours of the globe.
Date: August 30, 1929
During a flight aboard a Zeppelin airship, I was surprised to see that the cockpit is not closed off as it is in aircraft. The pilots happily chat with the passengers, and the co-pilot would frequently walk through the gondola to point out interesting sights as we cruised above them.
Some months ago I made a small Naval Battle Display at the Museum of my hometown, representing the Naval Battle of Dogger Bank (1915).
I also decided to make a very simple Zeppelin. Since I had the blimp of Johnny Thunder, it was super easy to make a micro-minifig German Zeppelin. And it looks just like the real thing!
I also found the image behind which shows a Zeppelin bombing a town during the war.

Back to the past.
ZEPPELIN is a name that has passed on into cultural legend. Many have forgotten Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin after whom these ships are named, but very name evokes visions of giant passenger ships voyaging across land and sea.
Three years after the demise of LZ129 Hindenburg, the LZ127 and LZ130 were dismantled in 1940 ending the golden era of the great passenger ships. But they have never been forgotten. Members of their crews and their passengers diminish yearly but what they did and experienced lives on.
Today, the Zeppelins have returned. In 1997, the Zepplin Luftschifftechnik built a new airship -- the LZ NT. The ship is certified. Commercial passenger flights began 15 August 2001.
This website gives you a place to begin learning about both the history and the present of the Zeppelin airships.
