How could the Hindenburg disaster been avoided?
no
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.
In 1937 hindenburg was filled with hydrogen gas why?
Because helium was not disponible in Germany before the war; USA refused to help Germany with the necessary volume of helium.
Did the Hindenburg crash?
The Hindenburg was not a plane; it was an airship, a type of balloon. It was filled with highly combustible Hydrogen instead of inert Helium; so when a static electric charge set of a spark as it was landing in Lakehurst, New Jersey, it exploded and went up in flames in a matter of minutes.
What were the Nazi doing the fall of the Hindenburg?
The Hindenburg was a commercial airship operated by the Zeppelin Company to provide transatlantic passenger service. While the Nazi Party used the Hindenburg and other airships for propaganda purposes, they were not military aircraft nor were they operated by the Nazis. (Also, the Nazis did not like the fact that the airship was named after Paul von Hindenburg). During 1936, the Hindenburg made 17 roundtrip flights across the Atlantic, including 10 to the United States.Travel on the Hindenburg was very comfortable and luxurious--much more enjoyable than transatlantic air travel today. It was expensive, though, and Hindenburg passengers frequently included famous people and celebrities.It is important to understand that Germany was not at war with the United States (or anyone else) during 1936. However, the United States did refuse to sell helium to Germany during this period. Had the Hindenburg been filled with helium, rather than hydrogen, the fire and crash at Lakehurst, New Jersey, would not have occurred.
Was the Hindenburg filled with helium?
No, the Hindenburg airship was filled with hydrogen gas, not helium. The use of hydrogen was a factor in the Hindenburg disaster, as the highly flammable gas led to the airship catching fire and crashing in 1937.
Which gas would be more suitable for the Hindenburg?
Helium was more suitable but not available in Germany before the war.
What gas should the hindenburg have used?
The Hindenburg should have used helium gas instead of hydrogen gas. Helium is non-flammable, unlike hydrogen, which was a major factor contributing to the Hindenburg disaster.
How could the Hindenburg disaster been avoided?
no
Was the Hindenburg filled with hellium?
No, the Hindenburg was filled with hydrogen, not helium. Hydrogen is highly flammable and was a contributing factor to the 1937 Hindenburg airship disaster.
What gas should have been put in the Hindenburg?
If they could have gotten any, they would have put helium in the Hindenburg.
The destruction of the Hindenburg marked the end of what element?
Hydrogen, newer airship designs use helium because it is slightly less volitile
What type of gas filled the Hindenburg airship?
It was hydrogen. That's why it caught fire. Modern airships use helium.
Is helium lighter or heavier than hydrogen?
Heavier but safer. Look what happened to the Hindenburg:(
Why was the Hindenburg filled with gas?
The Hindenburg was a Zeppelin (a German made lighter-than-air airship), similar to a modern day blimp. It was filled with hydrogen gas that gave it enough lift to allow it to get off the ground. Modern day blimps & balloons use helium gas. Helium has less lift capacity than Hydrogen, however it is not flammable. Hydrogen is flammable.
