Description: PURCHASE WITH CONFIDENCE - WE ARE AN AUTHORISED DEALER The Airship LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin It was constructed as a passenger airship for long distances. The hull of the LZ 127 is divided into 17 compartments, each containing a hydro-gas cell. Altogether 105,000 cubic metres of hydrogen gas can be taken in. In the rigid frame there is room not only for the hydro-gas but also for the liquefied petroleum gas. The main rings are at intervals of an average of 15 m and are crossed diagonally with steel wires. The outer skin consists of cotton material which is painted over. In order to avoid too much influence by the sun, aluminium powder is mixed into the paint. That is the reason for its silver-coloured appearance. The altitude and side rudders at the rear can either be operated by hand or electrically. There was also a rudder indicator showing the position of the rudders. The LZ 127 was driven by five engines in the machine gondolas outside the hull. (The engines could only be placed in the interior with airships which were filled with helium.) Powerful Maybach 12-cylinder engines driven by gas or petrol each developed 530 hp. So that there would be no air eddies, which would each disturb the other, the two front engine gondolas are somewhat higher and further apart than the middle ones. The only rear engine hangs in the middle. Machinists operated the engines and controlled the performance during the flight directly from the gondolas. In order to get there, they had to use walkways in the interior of the airship. The measurements of the LZ 127 are comparable to a huge ocean liner: 236.6 m long and 30.5 m largest diameter. In spite of this, it only weighed 58 tons. As a comparison: a Jumbo Jet seems pretty paltry with a length of 71 m. The overall performance of 2,650 hp allowed a great speed of 100-110 km/h, the top speed was 128 km/h. 20 passengers could be transported a distance of 10,000 km.
