The Hindenberg

Improvements

Pollution

It did not make pollution to float.

Dates

The Hindenburg went up using buoyancy with the help of hydrogen.

After the Hindenburg disaster, zeppelins weren't used much anymore. Instead people traveled by airplane.

It made some pollution from it's engines that propelled it forward.

Companies are trying to make safe, lighter-than-air craft that produce much less pollution than modern airplanes.

Lighter-than-air craft include blimps and zeppelins. The difference is that blimps have no frames and the zeppelin are bigger because they have frames.

One improvement was that after the Hindenburg explosion the did not use hydrogen.

Most lighter-than-air craft use helium to make them float.

The passengers were inside at the bottom of the Hindenburg.The pilots of the Hindenburg were in the gondola.

The first zeppelin lifted off on 2 July 1900

The Hindenberg took its first flight on 4 March 1936 with 87 people on board.

The crash

The Hindenburg came from Germany.

The swastika was on the tail fins of the Hindenburg.I did not put the swastika on my model because it meant a lot of harm to many people. So I made my own symbol; I call it Flower power.

The Hindenburg exploded on the 6 May 1937.

The Hindenburg disaster was caused by a spark that set fire to the hydrogen and it burned under one minute.That is what most people believe

It crashed at Manchester in the United States.

32 of the people on board died and 62 survived.
