Zeppelin NT

Lighter-Than-Air Craft and Rotorcraft

The Zeppelin NT is a German airship built by Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik since the late 1990s, a modern successor to the historic Zeppelin airships of the early twentieth century. Rather than the fully rigid frame of its namesake predecessors it uses a lighter semi-rigid internal structure, and it flies today for sightseeing tours, advertising and aerial research and survey work.
