Скачать или смотреть Travelling in a 1920s Luxurious Airship - Graf Zeppelin LZ-127 (cabin simulation)

Graf Zeppelin under the number LZ-127 was the largest and most advanced airship of its time, and as its history showed, it also turned to be the luckiest one.
There is so much said about the sadly known Hindenburg airship, but Graf Zeppelin, which had an exciting history, is so rarely mentioned. It is necessary to correct this injustice.
This airship was created in 1928 by the German company Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH, which stands for Zeppelin airship construction LTD, and took the name after its founder Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin. It’s without this person that one can’t simply imagine the “Golden Age” of the airships, and that’s why even today we often say Zeppelins meaning airships, although that’s not quite accurate.
It was supposed to take passenger air travels to a whole new level and it succeeded. Thanks to Graf Zeppelin people learned that constant passenger air travelling between continents was possible.
Graf Zeppelin made the first round-the-world flight in all aviation history, but besides it had many exciting journeys. Now the planes rarely fly over the Pacific Ocean, but Graf Zeppelin managed to cross it almost a hundred years ago!
If you take a look at old photos of the airships from different countries, most likely you’ll see Graf Zeppelin. The airship’s history is also connected with some spy stories and we won’t miss them.
Graf Zeppelin under the number LZ-127 was the largest and most advanced airship of its time, and as its history showed, it also turned to be the luckiest one.
Passengers’ cabins were located in a front gondola under the fuselage. It was rigidly attached to the bottom of the hull. Besides passenger’s cabins, it also contained a cockpit, a radio room, a navigation room, a galley, a salon for the passengers, several washrooms and toilets. There was a ladder in the navigation room that connected the front gondola with the dome passages.
Graf Zeppelin’s front gondola was the largest in the history of the airship engineering, its length was 40 m, width equaled 6 m and maximum height was 2.25 m, it was twice as wide and almost twice as long as a passenger train car at that time. Passengers’ cabins looked very much like train compartments, they had two rows of beds, which could be turned into a sofa, a folding table by the window and even a wardrobe. However, taking into account the dimensions of the cabins, the wardrobe was only 20 cm wide. Graf Zeppelin could carry 20 passengers.
The LZ 127 was in flight for 717 days or almost 2 years, it made 590 flights, and was called "the most successful airship in the world".
Take a look inside the airship's cabin, feel like you are its passenger!
