Alter
Zeppelin erhält in Friedrichshafen neue Technik und Hülle
12. September 2011
Friedrichshafen
(dapd-bwb). Nach dem zweimonatigen Wiederaufbau eines Zeppelins
werden in Friedrichshafen die Einzelteile langsam zu einem Gesamtgerüst
zusammengesetzt. Das Luftschiff, das in einer Halle auf dem Messegelände
entsteht, nimmt damit wieder konkrete Formen an, wie eine Sprecherin
der Deutschen Zeppelin Reederei am Montag in Friedrichshafen sagte.
Der Zeppelin NT (Neue Technologie) ist 75 Meter lang, also zwei
Meter länger als ein Airbus A 380.
Zurzeit
arbeiten 20 Techniker an dem Luftschiff. Im Frühjahr 2012 soll es
dann mit neuer Hülle und leistungsstärkerer Technik wieder über
dem Bodensee fliegen. Nach dem Wiederaufbau erhält der Zeppelin den
Angaben zufolge den Zusatz "R" in seiner Seriennummer - für
"Rebuild", also Wiederaufbau. Der ursprüngliche Taufname
"Bodensee" soll jedoch bestehen bleiben.
Im
März 2004 war der Zeppelin für sieben Millionen Euro nach Japan
verkauft worden. Dort startete dieser bis 2010 unter dem Namen
"Yokoso! Japan" zu Rundflügen über Tokio. Nachdem die
Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik das Gefährt zurückgekauft hatte, wurde
es im März 2010 zerlegt und in Containern nach Friedrichshafen
gebracht.

Samstag beim ersten deutschen Luftschiff-Wettrennen in Bad Homburg

«Das ist die schlechteste Nummer, die es gibt», sagt sie. Denn
damit muss sie ganz außen starten und liegt so im Teilnehmerfeld am

Students
Steer a Blimp to Test Near Space Military Technology
The
similar but much larger unmanned airship is being developed by
engineers at Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory
in Laurel, Md., to provide visual and communications support from an
altitude of about 100,000 feet above sea level. To help test and
refine the guidance, navigation and control system for such a craft,
APL engineers asked students in the university's Engineering Design
Project class to devise a smaller version of the airship.

Big
balloons prescribed as cheap cure for what ails Nunavut May
20, 2005
Transportation
experts and businesses predict giant airships - shaped like balloons
or cigars and standing up to six storeys high - will provide Nunavut
with a much-needed breakthrough in developing its sluggish economy.
Companies
around the world are testing new airships buoyed by helium, which
they expect will eventually be able to haul up to 500 tonnes of
cargo or people, at a fraction of the cost of plane travel.

World's
largest blimp takes to the sky in Japan
Fri Jan 14,10:38 AM
KOBE,
Japan (AFP) - A modern-day Zeppelin billed as the world's largest blimp
entered the skies over Japan on a test run of an airship hoped to draw
both tourists and advertisers.
The
75-meter (246-foot) long Zeppelin NT, designed in Germany by the
descendant of Ferdinand von Zeppelin, took to the air for about 40 minutes
from the western Japanese city of Kobe.
The
white blimp flew over the site of the World Expo which opens in the Aichi
region in March and carried a promotion for the event which is due to
showcase more recent technological marvels.
The
airship was bought by Nippon Airship Corp., a Tokyo-based subsidiary of
Japan's biggest shipping firm Nippon Yusen, which said it will initially
use the Zeppelin to show corporate advertisements.
