Zeppelin NT Blimb Friedrichshafen Lake Constance Blog JoyDellaVita

The Zeppelin NT is THE sight to see in southern Germany at Lake Constance. With its home base in Friedrichshafen, it is no unusual sight and thing to hear when holidaying in the Lake Constance area. A dull whirring sound can be heard as the zeppelin hovers nearby. And then this big flying cigar, mayestically floating in the air, driving even. For a short time you are even in the shade when the zeppelin flies directly above you. Or even just far in the distance on the horizon, seeing a zeppelin is a unique sensation.

Whats is an airship

A rigid airship is a type of airship (or dirigible) in which the envelope is supported by an internal framework rather than by being kept in shape by the pressure of the lifting gas within the envelope, as in blimps (also called pressure airships) and semi-rigid airships. Rigid airships are often commonly called Zeppelins, though this technically refers only to airships built by the Luftschiffbau Zeppelin company.
