What else can I help you with?
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.
Was was the name of gas filled airships developed by the Germans?
Zeppelins.
What lighter than air gas was once used to power airships in cause the Hindenburg disaster?
The gas was Hydrogen.
Are zeppelins still built today?
Airships today are used for advertising and carrying TV cameras to film large special events like auto races.
List 7 new weapons that were used in World War 1?
machine guns, airships, airplanes, anticraft gun, poison gas, and tanks
Do airships use gas?
Airships do use gas, to provide lift.
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.
What gas helps airships float?
the gas that helps airships is i hate you wikianswers.com
Why is gas no longer used for airships?
gas is still used in airships to provide lift.
What flammable gas used to be used in airships?
Hydrogen used to be used in airships.
Why don't they use hydrogen gas in airships nowadays?
Hydrogen gas is highly flammable and poses a significant safety risk. Therefore, helium gas is commonly used in airships today as it is non-flammable and safer. Additionally, helium has a higher lifting capacity compared to hydrogen, which allows for better control and stability of the 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 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.
When were airships used?
in the twetieth century for the most part but they are still in use today like the good year blimp
Was was the name of gas filled airships developed by the Germans?
Zeppelins.
Why airships today safer than in the past?
because hydrogen used to be in those airships and since hydrogen is flammable it was very dangerous
How do airships move?
Airships move primarily through the use of buoyancy and propulsion. They are filled with a lighter-than-air gas, such as helium or hydrogen, which allows them to rise. For horizontal movement, airships are equipped with engines and propellers that generate thrust, enabling them to steer and navigate through the air. The combination of buoyancy for altitude control and propulsion for forward movement allows airships to travel efficiently.
