  1. zeppelin

    A zeppelin is a type of rigid airship named after the German inventor Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin who pioneered rigid airship development at the beginning of the 20th century. Zeppelins are characterized by their large size and rigid structure, as opposed to non-rigid airships (often known as "blimps") which rely on a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the envelope and have no internal structure. Zeppelins were used for passenger transport, reconnaissance, and bombing during the early 20th century.

  1. Zeppelin

    A Zeppelin is a type of rigid airship pioneered by the German Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin in the early 20th century. Zeppelin's ideas were first outlined in 1874 and formulated in detail in 1893. They were patented in Germany in 1895 and in the United States on 14 March 1899. After the outstanding success of the Zeppelin design, the term zeppelin in casual use came to refer to all rigid airships. Zeppelins were first flown commercially in 1910 by Deutsche Luftschiffahrts-AG, the world's first airline in revenue service. By mid-1914, DELAG had carried over 34,000 passengers on over 1,500 flights. After the outbreak of World War I, the German military made extensive use of Zeppelins as bombers and scouts. The World War I defeat of Germany in 1918 temporarily halted the airship business. But under the guidance of Hugo Eckener, the deceased Count's successor, civilian Zeppelins became popular again. In 1919 DELAG established scheduled daily services between Berlin, Munich, and Friedrichshafen. Their heyday was during the 1930s when the airships LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin and LZ 129 Hindenburg operated regular transatlantic flights from Germany to North America and Brazil. The Art Deco spire of the Empire State Building was originally, if impractically, designed to serve as a mooring mast for Zeppelins and other airships to dock at. The Hindenburg disaster in 1937, along with political and economic issues, hastened the demise of the Zeppelins.

Examples of Zeppelin in a Sentence

  1. Kimberly Perry:

    We always judge things by our live show because when we grew up in Alabama everything we did from the get-go was live performance, right before we were writing songs, before we were doing interviews, we would just be on stage doing Led Zeppelin covers. So for us, the new music just feels really, really good on stage… We were more motivated to write the lyrics on this album than any other and I can’t wait for you guys to hear it.

    We were close to a window, and my mother took my brother and threw him out. She grabbed me and fell back and then threw me out, she tried to get my sister, but she was too heavy, and my mother decided to get out by the time the zeppelin was nearly on the ground.

  3. Michael Underhill:

    When I think about how big of a deal this is, I think about the Led Zeppelin song 'When the Levee Breaks,' competition is going to get fierce. It forces everyone to get sharp and up their game.

  4. Tom Doyle:

    And that's what the kids loved, neil Young was one of course. Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, Slash, Jeff Beck, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top.
