People in early 20th-century attire push a large zeppelin across a field.

After #WW1, #Transatlantic #Zeppelins like the R34 carried passengers in relative luxury to #NYC, #Germany, and even #Rio de Janeiro during the 1920s and 1930s. The airships #GrafZeppelin and #Hindenburg crossed the Atlantic in 2-3 days, faster than some ocean liners! 📝: Mark Cartwright #history

The world's largest aircraft breaks cover in Silicon Valley | TechCrunch As dawn breaks over Silicon Valley, the world is getting its first look at Pathfinder 1, a prototype electric airship that its maker LTA Research hopes

“Pathfinder 1, a prototype electric airship[, is] the largest aircraft to take to the skies since the […] Hindenburg.”

Eventual goal is to reduce “the carbon footprint of air travel” and to provide disaster relief.
