Zeppelin (airship)

Zeppelin refers to a type of large, rigid airship developed in the early 20th century, characterized by a sturdy metal framework covered with fabric and filled with a lighter-than-air gas like helium. This structure houses engines and passenger or cargo compartments. Zeppelins are used for surveillance, tourism, and research, leveraging their ability to float steadily at high altitudes and provide stable flight over long distances. Their design allows for a combination of buoyancy, aerodynamic shape, and extensive onboard space, making them distinct from traditional blimps or non-rigid airships.
