	LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The LZ 127 "Graf Zeppelin" was a large rigid airship (or dirigible) in the early 20th century.
		However the disastrous accident of the British passenger airship R 101 in 1931 led the Zeppelin company to reconsider the safety of hydrogen-filled vessels, and the design was abandoned in favor of a new project.
		LZ 129, which was to eventually be named the Hindenburg, would advance Zeppelin technology considerably and was intended to be filled with helium.

		Named Zeppelin NT for "New Technology," the craft is filled with helium rather than the intensely flammable hydrogen that fuelled airships in the era of the Hindenburg, which caught fire on landing at Lakehurst, New Jersey in 1937 -- killing 35 of the 96 people on board, virtually ending the lighter-than-air dirigibles as passenger vehicles.
		Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik starting building the new airships in 1996, and the sale to Nippon Airship Corporation was its first commercial deal.

		The Graf Zeppelin and the newly constructed Graf Zeppelin II were dismantled in May of 1940.
		Zeppelins were the ultimate long distance flying machines of the 1920s and 1930s, simply by there ability to remain airborne, due to their lighter than air design.

		A piece of advice — never refer to the craft as a "blimp." You will be quickly corrected, tongue in cheek, that a blimp is nothing other than a big bag of gas, without internal rigid structure, from which hangs a cabin with a noisy single-propeller engine.
		Boarding the zeppelin is different from boarding a winged aircraft.
		We were taken by minibus to the hovering NT, where we got out and waited facing the nose of the airship so that, in the event of a sudden wind shift, we didn’t get in the way of the airship as it adjusted its into-the-wind position.
