Zeppelin And The Hindenburg Analysis

Zeppelin essay And the Hindenburg!
Have you heard of a zeppelin? Zeppelins were a big type of transportation in the 1930s, but after the crash of the Hindenburg zeppelins popularity went down. And I think that zeppelins could be popular again. The zeppelins where like a cruise in the air and I personally think that would be pretty cool. And in the story “The Flaming Sky” it states that it could zoom across the ocean in 2 and a half days. It also states that you could look out windows and not get sick like on a boat.
On would you ride on that? It says that air planes take up millions of gallons of gas, but the zeppelins take helium, a non-flammable gas, so by using zeppelins we would be saving our natural gases that there is not much more of.

    Theories on airpower and how best to use it has evolved over the past century due to experiences from the battlefield and with increasing air technology and communications ability. WWI and WWII were instrumental in creating a background on which to build current airpower theory. Early theorists such as Douhet, Mitchell, and Trenchard focused primarily on strategic bombing as a way to subdue the enemy. Current theorists have modified this stance to include the thinking and the morale of the enemy as well as using effects-based operations. Airpower theory has incorporated lessons learned over the past century by moving from a service centric view of battle and use of primarily strategic bombardment into a more joint or unified stance with…

    A long time ago, before the humans that we know of today, there used to be a different kind of humans.

Even though they had been curious enough to start teaching themselves about science and mathematics, these humans were far less technologically advanced than us. Although they had not yet developed planes, or even an early form of glider, they turned their eyes to the sky all the same.…

    In his first book, John Wilkins wrote "Yet I do seriously and on good grounds affirm it possible to make a flying chariot in which a man may sit and give such a motion unto it as shall convey him through the air. And this perhaps might be made large enough to carry diverse men at the same time, together with food for their viaticum and commodities for traffic. It is not the bigness of anything in this kind that can hinder its motion, if the motive faculty be answerable thereunto. We see a great ship swims as well as a small cork, and an eagle flies in the air as well as a little gnat". (John Wilkins from A Discourse Concerning a New World and Another Planet, book 1, 1640).…
