Luftschiffbau Zeppelin

Luftschiffbau Zeppelin was a German company founded by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin in the late 19th century, specializing in the design and construction of large airships called zeppelins. These airships are lightweight aircraft filled with hydrogen or helium, featuring a rigid structure of metal frames covered with fabric, allowing them to carry passengers or cargo over long distances. The company was instrumental in advancing the technology of lighter-than-air travel, enabling both civilian transportation and military uses during the early 20th century. Zeppelin's innovations laid the foundation for modern airship design and contributed significantly to aviation history.
