A zeppelin is the first airship, that was
built and tested in 1900. During World War I
a number of Zeppelin airships bombed England.
They were also used for luxury passenger
transport but the construction of
hydrogen-filled airships with rigid keels was
abandoned after several disasters in the
1920s and 1930s.
