Dirigible
Historic Vehicles
Dirigibles were popular before modern airplanes and helicopters.
Dirigibles are rarely used today, unlike their heyday in the early 20th century.
Not Always Zeppelins
While similar, not all dirigibles are Zeppelins; Zeppelin is a specific brand.
We spotted a dirigible, but it wasn't the famous Zeppelin.
Gas Type Matters
Dirigibles are often associated with hydrogen, but helium is used today for safety.
Modern dirigibles avoid hydrogen due to the Hindenburg disaster.
