Vertical Takeoff of a Zeppelin with an adjustable Propeller + Blimp Landing (4K)

This Zeppelin operated some sightseeing flights at Mönchengladbach and I headed to the airport to film it. Just like the famous Zeppelins in the USA we also have a Goodyear Zeppelin in germany aswell. In the USA they have three of them which are based at various airfields in the entire country. The shown Zeppelin in this video is based at Friedrichshafen near the Bodensee. The company operates two of these airships and currently a third airship is in production which will be based at Essen/Mülheim Airport in 2024.

The special thing about these airships is that the pilos can rotate the propellers to depart vertically. After takeoff they just return the propellers into its original position to push the Zeppelin forward. Amazing technique and quite interesting so see such a hugh flying object departing vertically.

At the last part of the video I included a blimp which got reatired last year. WDL Aviation used top operate and built several blimps within the past years but they decided to retire the airship. Neyt year one of these Goodyear Zeppelins will start performing sightseeing flights at WDL Aviation` s base Essen/Mülheim instead.
