How long is the wingspan of the Zeppelin Airship?
Airships didn't have wings, -so no wingspan. They were cigar or cylindrical in shape and had gasbags inside the structure to make them rise. -'Airships' actually had a skeletal metal structure, they were 'rigid' and often called so. -Don't mistake things like the Goodyear blimp for an airship. Blimps are a ballooon with no metal skeleton except around the control ans engine area.
What are two differences between the good blimps of today and the airships Hindenburg?
Today's blimps are not filled with flammable hydrogen gas like Hindenburg was, but normally the non-flammable helium.
Used in airships after the Hindenburg disaster?
Hydrogen
Was was the name of gas filled airships developed by the Germans?
Zeppelins.
Is there helium in airships?
Yes. Helium isn't flammable, which makes it the safer option.
What is the shape of a blimp?
Blimps are non-rigid airships. Their shape is determined by the design of the envelope (inflatable bag). Most common airships are shaped like a cigar.
What is the difference between blimps and dirigibles?
Blimps are non-rigid airships with an envelope that maintains their shape, while dirigibles are semi-rigid or rigid airships with a structure inside the envelope to maintain their shape. Dirigibles are typically larger and have more internal structure for support and control.
Who was the first German to fly in a blimp?
Ferdinand Adolf Heinrich August Graf von Zeppelin is known as the first German to fly rigid airships. Blimps by definition are non-rigid and the word is often used interchangeably with rigid, semi rigid and non-rigid.
What type of airship has a metal frame that extends the entire length and height of the envelope?
The type of airship with a metal frame that extends the entire length and height of the envelope is known as a rigid airship. Unlike non-rigid airships, which rely on internal gas pressure to maintain their shape, rigid airships have a structural framework that supports the envelope and maintains its form. This design allows for greater control and stability in flight, as well as the ability to carry heavier payloads. The most famous examples of rigid airships include the Zeppelin and the Graf Zeppelin.
Who invented the blimp?
Lieutenant Jean Baptiste Marie Meusnier (1754--93) of the French Army came up with the idea. It's been through a lot of changes and improvements leading to rigid airships (Zeppelins after Count Von Zeppelin their most famous builder) and the modern "Blimps" non-rigid airships. Albert Caquot's R-Type Balloon is probably the forerunner of the classic blimp shape - used by basically every army for allsorts of stuff.
Is the asthenosphere non rigid?
Yes, it is non-rigid.
What is a non rigid shape?
a non rigid is a square and a hexagon
What is an example of a non rigid airship?
A blimp is an example of non-rigid airship
Why are airships safer than today they were in the past?
Modern airships use Helium for lift which is non-combustible whereas in the past airships such as the Hindenburg used Hydrogen for lift which is highly combustible. In addition, modern airships take advantage of new alloys and polymers which give them a much stronger airframe.
What is an armor-piercing composite non-rigid?
An armor-piercing composite non-rigid is a variety of large solid projectile.
What is a light element used for lifting airships?
Hydrogen (explosive), Helium (non-explosive).
Do you still use hydrogen powered airships?
There never were hydrogen powered airships. Hydrogen provided lift, not propulsion. Propulsion came from combustion engines using diesel or gasoline.
