  Zeppelin NT - Definition, explanation
Zeppelin NT ("Neuer Technologie", German for new technology) is an airship type that has been manufactured since the 1990s by the German company Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik GmbH (ZLG) in Friedrichshafen.
There are, however, a number of notable differences between the Zeppelin NT and the dirigibles of those days, as well as between the Zeppelin NT and usual non-rigid airships known as blimps.
During the Oktoberfest of 2002 a Zeppelin NT was used for radio experiments in connection with the European Galileo positioning system project for the German Aerospace Center and the ESA.

 Zeppelin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Zeppelin is a type of rigid airship (or dirigible) pioneered by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin in the early 20th century based on an earlier design by David Schwarz.
Zeppelins would now prominently display the Nazi swastika on their fins and occasionally tour Germany to indoctrinate the people with march music and Nazi propaganda speeches from the air.
Zeppelins are a prop of a modern sub-genre of science fiction that is inspired by the visions of the 1930s.

The new craft designed by Germany's Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik - named Zeppelin NT for "New Technology" - is filled with helium rather than the intensely flammable hydrogen that fueled the earlier generation of airships.
The original era of the zeppelin ended when the Hindenburg caught fire on landing at Lakehurst, N.J. in 1937 - killing 35 of the 96 people on board and dashing the dream of the airship as a means of transportation.
Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik started building the new dirigibles, which are about one-third the length of the Hindenburg, in 1996, but the sale to the Nippon Airship Corporation - sealed in March - was its first commercial deal.

 The Future Of Zeppelins
That must change, and the NT is the first step in regaining the sense of awe and pleasure that people have when they see these majestic ships of the sky.
The up and coming Zeppelin won't fly the few kilometers to the Friedrichshafen airport for the real flight tests scheduled to begin in September until the electronic control of the steering mechanisms and the rotatable propellers are sufficiently tested.
The original ships created and built by Count Von Zeppelin were used for just this purpose in the the beginning of this century and as we near the end of it, the Zeppelin has emerged again into the light of day as a viable form of travel.

Zeppelin developed what can be considered the first truly successful airship and founded a company under his own name to build them.
Zeppelin airships had made hundreds of successful flights safely carrying thousands of passengers, a particularly notable achievement during the early days of aviation.
The zeppelins were the only means of air transportation in that day that could carry that many people successfully and were the earliest form of transatlantic commercial air service.

 Zeppelin sightseeing tour over Lake Constance
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.
The NT had arrived from a previous flight, and as the disembarking passengers left the cabin two at a time, we entered the cabin two at a time, preserving the slightly negative buoyancy of the NT.
Although the NT can cruise at a maximum speed of 125 km/h (about 75 mph) at a maximum altitude of almost 3,000 meters (the cabin is not pressurized), we cruised at about 50 km/h (30 mph) at an elevation of 800 meters.

Led Zeppelin IV was the band's most musically diverse effort to date, featuring everything from the crunching rock of "Black Dog" to the folk of "The Battle of Evermore," as well as "Stairway to Heaven," which found the bridge between the two genres.
Led Zeppelin launched a large American tour in 1975, but it came to a halt when Robert Plant and his wife suffered a serious car crash while vacationing in Greece.
Led Zeppelin immediately canceled the tour and offered no word whether or not it would be rescheduled, causing widespread speculation about the band's future.

With the Zeppelin NT it is possible to travel in a pleasant manner and survey the landscape and its sightseeing attractions from the air.” Moreover, Schröder believes that the airship mode of transport has met with special sympathy from the population.
On the Zeppelin NT, the engines are not attached to the passenger cabin, as is normally the case on non-rigid airships.
Thus the prototype of the Zeppelin NT was used this year as a research platform for the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), simulating a GPS navigation satellite for a ground station.

The rigid airship is often called a zeppelin in honor of its inventor, Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin.
The best-known rigid airships were the Graf Zeppelin, which traveled 20,000 mi (32,000 km) around the world in 1929; England's R34, which crossed the Atlantic in 1919; and the Hindenburg, which burst into flames while preparing to dock at Lakehurst, N.J., in 1937, killing 36 people.
In 1997 the Zeppelin NT, which uses modern technologies and design innovations to realize a more maneuverable and efficient airship, made its maiden flight and testing began in the hope of putting rigid airships into commercial service once again.

 Aerospace Engineering Online: Technology update: September 2000, Zeppelin's progress
A century after the first flight of a Zeppelin in Germany, a new airship is being developed by Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik of Friedrichshafen.
The Zeppelin NT LZ NO7, a semi-rigid airship that made its maiden flight in 1997, took part in a ceremony in July for the vehicle's "official launch" by Frau Elisabeth Veil, granddaughter of Count Graf von Zeppelin (founder of the Zeppelin company) exactly 100 years after the first flight of his LZ1.
For many years after the tragic accidents involving the Hindenburg and the British R101 in the 1930s (they used hydrogen as a lift gas) and the advance of fixed-wing technology, the concept of the airship as a mass people or freight carrier was all but abandoned.
