Flight of the Zeppelin
The "Flight of the Zeppelin" refers to the journey of a rigid airship, a type of large, buoyant aircraft filled with helium or hydrogen, which is navigated through the air. Zeppelins were used mainly in the early 20th century for passenger travel, military patrols, and observation. They float because their helium or hydrogen gas is less dense than air, providing lift. Controlled by engines and rudders, a Zeppelin can travel long distances smoothly. Their flights symbolize technological innovation and explore the early days of air transportation before airplanes became dominant.
