An explosive weapon generally uses high explosive to project blast and often fragmentation from a point of detonation.. Explosive weapons may be subdivided by their method of manufacture into explosive ordnance and improvised explosive devices ().
The LZ 2 was a German experimental airship constructed by Luftschiffbau Zeppelin and first flown in 1906. It was the true ancestor of later Zeppelin airship designs. The major mistakes made by Kübler in the design of the LZ 1 were not repeated: the designer, Ludwig Dürr, who was to head the design of all subsequent Zeppelins, used triangular-section girders instead of Kübler's flat girders ...
Zeppelin NT D-LZZR at the airport in Friedrichshafen, 2003. The Zeppelin NT series are a family of semi-rigid airships, combining the design principles of rigid airships and blimps together. [7] The Zeppelin N07, the base model and most commonly constructed to date, are 75 metres (246 ft) long, with a volume of 8,225 cubic metres (290,500 cu ft).
Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH is a German aircraft manufacturing company. It is perhaps best known for its leading role in the design and manufacture of rigid airships, commonly referred to as Zeppelins due to the company's prominence. The name 'Luftschiffbau' is a German word meaning building of airships.
