Humanity's ultimate dream was to defy gravity and fly freely across the skies like a bird. Because of that dream, as early as 400 BC, humans experimented with the idea of ​​flying when a Greek scholar built a wooden pigeon that flew through the air. many after him had attempted to realize that dream but failed, some of them succeeded but failed to sustain the flight, some even succeeded in sustaining the flight but failed due to unforeseen circumstances as their flying machines were not up to the mark of expectations. One of the first examples was the zeppelin, also known as a dirigible. The first zeppelin was invented, designed and built by Count Ferdinand Adolph Heinrich Von Zeppelin in the early 20th century ("THE ZEPPELIN", ND). The Zeppelin is a lighter-than-air aircraft that floats in the sky with engines providing forward thrust and its directional controls are provided by rudders and control surfaces. The main body of the Zeppelin is built with a rigid skeleton of metal alloy which was then covered with a fabric covering, inside the structure there were individual cells filled with lighter-than-air gases. The engines were installed under the main body of the nacelles; the cockpit was also located under the main body (“ZEPPELIN L32/33”, ND). The Zeppelin was originally used to transport passengers and cargo, but during World War I it was used as a military offensive weapon, regularly conducting air raids ("AIRSHIPS", ND). Although the Zeppelin was an engineering marvel in the early 20th century, the development of the heavier-than-air aircraft, coupled with failures in World War I and its technological shortcomings that caused frequent accidents, quickly led to… . .....it is necessary to seize the opportunity as it has been proven time and again that the harsh climate was its worst nemesis, that deficiency coupled with the rapid development of the aircraft, means that sooner, if not later, the aircraft it would replace the zeppelin's role in the skies. He was also believed to be the inventor of the zeppelin when Field Marshal Paul Von Hindenburg revealed that Count Ferdinand Adolph Heinrich Von Zeppelin had confided to him in 1916 that the airship was obsolete and that the future belongs to airplanes. In conclusion, although the zeppelin was an impressive and notable step in the development of aircraft in the history of Germany, it turned out to be a fair weather aircraft that was never intended to participate in wars or fly in adverse weather conditions and with the development of airplanes, the role of the zeppelin was rendered obsolete and ending its era as an aeronautical dead end .
