One of LZ 1's Daimler NL-1 engines, preserved in the Deutsches Museum, Munich. At its first trial the LZ 1 carried five people, reached an altitude of 410 m (1,350 ft) and flew a distance of 6.0 km (3.7 mi) in 17 minutes, but by then the moveable weight had jammed and one of the engines had failed: the wind then forced an emergency landing.

LZ 1, the first successful rigid airship. During July 1900, Ferdinand von Zeppelin completed LZ 1. [9] Constructed in a floating shed on Lake Constance, it was 128.02 m (420 ft) long, 11.73 m (38 ft 6 in) in diameter with a volume of 11,298 m 3 (399,000 ft 3) and was powered by a pair of 11 kW (14 hp) Daimler engines.

Graf Zeppelin was powered by five Maybach VL II 12-cylinder 410 kW (550 hp) engines, each of 33.251 L (2,029.1 cu in) capacity, mounted in individual streamlined nacelles [nb 5] arranged so that each was in an undisturbed airflow. [35]
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.
It was powered by four 190 kW (260 hp) Maybach Mb.IVa engines, two in a centrally mounted aft gondola driving a single 5.2 m (17 ft 1 in) diameter two-bladed pusher propeller, the other two in a pair of amidships engine cars mounted either side of the hull. These drove 3.2 m (10 ft 6 in) two-bladed propellers via a reversing gearbox to enable ...
These were initially 180 horsepower (134 kW) Maybach C-X engines; later replaced with the 240 horsepower (179 kW) Maybach HSLu. LZ 54 had two gondolas, a control cabin forward with a single engine and rear gondola mounting the other three engines. The P-class Zeppelins were around 10 miles per hour (16 km/h) faster than the earlier craft, and ...
The Zeppelin C.I (sometimes Zeppelin (Jaray) C.I, Zeppelin-Friedrichshafen C.I, or Zeppelin LZ C.I [2]) was a German single-engine two-seat biplane, designed by Paul Jaray and built by Zeppelin in World War I. [1] Friedrichshafen referred to the location of the Zeppelin factory where development occurred, and was not connected with the aircraft manufacturer of that name.
