The last living person to fly in the Hindenburg, a 95 year old woman, who was about 10 then,
died in a freak accident last week, mid-August 2021! The end of an era! p.s. The photos
in this video are wonderful!

Somehow this was technology way ahead of its time.

Es schmerzt, auf dieses Stück deutscher Technikgeschichte zurückzublicken. Spitzentechnologie, die aber spätestens durch die Entwicklung z. B. der Focke Wulf FW 200 überholt wurde, was den gewöhnlichen internationalen Passagierflugverkehr betraf. Das Reisen mit dem Zeppelin war ein Erlebnis, etwas Besonderes, leider auch recht teuer. Ruht in Frieden, Ihr Pioniere der Luftfahrt. Euer Werk wird von den ehrlichen Menschen auch in Zukunft nicht vergessen werden. Stolz und Trauer bewegen mein Herz.

someone or corporation should build a copy of the Hindenburg like they are doing the Titanic. It would be a great success.

Great video, except for the AI narration. would have been better with a live narrator.

Hindenburg Daimler Engine Casing Recipe

1 .Empty toilet roll cut in half at the centre to make two smaller toilet rolls;
2. Cut the egg carton up so that each cardboard cell will fit over the the halved empty toilet roll.

That was the Daimler Engine Chases casing for the Engine on the Hindenburg.

I'm surprised that such a large and heavy ship could be manoeuvred by only four engines, each one similar in power to a R-R Merlin.

good. but i've watched it in 0.75 playback speed. better correct your text-to-speech speed in future.

I never knew the Hindenburg had an autopilot!

Lot of information I've been looking for it. Any more information would be nice.
Like what about the smaller ones. There were several.

Id really like to build one. Theres a high altitude lab in japan. I want to design a machine a cryocooler that can be lifted with high altitude balloons at higher altitudes i believe the possibility of capturing helium gas will be much better. I read a patent for hydrogen helium gas mix thats safe. It should give 60.8poumds of lift per 1000cubic feet.
