  • Goodyear – Civilian Blimps
    Goodyear – civilian blimps Peter Lobner, 24 August 2021 1. Introduction Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company began their involvement with lighter-than-air (LTA) vehicles in 1912, when the company developed a fabric envelope suitable for use in airships and aerostats. The first blimps manufactured by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company were B-Type blimps ordered by the US Navy in 1917 for convoy escort duty. Goodyear (envelope supplier) and Curtiss Aeroplane (gondola supplier) produced 9 of the 17 B-Type blimps ordered. Goodyear also supplied the envelopes for some of the Navy’s 10 C-Type patrol blimps, which were delivered in 1918, after the end of WW I. Both the B- and C-Type blimps used hydrogen as the lift gas. In 1923, Goodyear teamed with German firm Luftschiffbau Zeppelin and created a new subsidiary, Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation. In June 1925, their Type AD Pilgrim (NC-9A) made its first flight and became Goodyear’s first blimp to use helium lift gas. Pilgrim was certified later in 1925, becoming the first US commercial airship. Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation filed a patent application for a nonrigid airship in September 1929, describing the objectives of their invention as follows: “This invention relates to non-rigid airships, and it has particular relation to the suspension of pilot cars or gondolas from the envelopes of non-rigid airships. The principal object of the invention is to provide a non-rigid airship in which the envelope and the pilot car or engine car are so constructed as to offer the minimum air resistance. Another object of the invention is to provide connections between the envelope and pilot car that are not exposed to the airstream for sustaining the weight of the pilot car, as well as stabilizing it against lateral or longitudinal movement.” 1 In patent Figure 1, the pressurized lift gas envelope (10) contains an air ballonet (12, for adjusting airship buoyancy) and a load suspension system for carrying and distributing the weight of the gondola (11) affixed under the envelope and the thrust loads from the with attached engines.

    ENTWURFWIKIREADER LUFTSCHIFFE EINE ARTIKELSAMMLUNG AUS WIKIPEDIA, DER FREIEN ENZYKLOPÄDIE STAND VOM 07.APRIL 2005 ZUM READER Der WikiReader Luftschiffe möchte die Welt dieser Leichter-als-Luft-Fahrzeuge näher beleuchten. Neben den riesigen historischen Luftschiffen sollen auch die Schiffe und Projekte der letzten Jahre vorgestellt werden. Diese erste Ausgabe ist noch sehr dünn. Sie hat einen Schwerpunkt auf der amerikanischen Luftschifffahrt in der Wikipedia. Es ist nur ein Bruchteil der gesamten Aktivitäten aufgeführt, jedoch soll dies auch nur der Anfang sein. Ob- wohl die deutschsprachige Wikipedia schon einiges mehr an Luftschiffen zu bieten hat, als ihre große englischsprachige Schwester gibt es immer noch weiße Flecken im Inhaltverzeichnis und sehr viele verbesse- rungswürdige Stellen in den Artikeln. Jeder der Interesse hat kann sie unter http://www.Wikipedia.de ausfüllen. Von Zeit zu Zeit werde ich den Reader aktualisieren. Dies wird dann jedes Mal auch eine Gelegeheit sein ihn auch um Artikel aus anderen Bereichen der Luftschifffahrt zu erweitern, die bereits vorhanden, vielleicht aber auch noch gar nicht geschrieben sind oder nur darauf warten überarbeitet zu werden. Benutzer:Hadhuey Über Wikipedia Die Wikipedia ist eine freie Enzyklopädie, die es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht hat, jedem eine freie Wissensqelle zu bieten, an der er nicht nur passiv durch lesen teilhaben, sondern auch aktiv als Autor mitwirken kann. Auf der Webseite http://de.wikipedia.org findet man nicht nur die aktuellen Artikel der deutschsprachigen Wiki- pedia, sondern darf auch sofort und ohne eine Anmeldung mitschreiben. Auf diese außergewöhnliche Art sind seit 2001 in nur vier Jahren eine halbe Million Artikel zustande gekommen, in mehr als 60 Sprachen von Afrikaans über Esperanto bis Zulu.

  • Graf Zeppelin W Gliwicach W Roku 1931. Krótka Historia Sterowców I Tego, Jak Zawładnęły Wyobraźnią Wielu
    Rocznik Muzeum w Gliwicach • Tom XX (2006) Leszek Jodliński GRAF ZEPPELIN W GLIWICACH W ROKU 1931. KRÓTKA HISTORIA STEROWCÓW I TEGO, JAK ZAWŁADNĘŁY WYOBRAŹNIĄ WIELU (…) die Zeit des Luftschiffs endgültig vorbei ist (…) Hugo Eckener (1948)* Wstęp Zgodnie z decyzjami Traktatu Wersalskiego i innych postanowień kończących I wojnę światową1, Niemcom zakazano produkcji aerostatów2, znanych w historii lotnictwa pod bardziej precyzyjną nazwą sterowców. Mając świeżo w pamięci spu- stoszenie, jakie sterowce siały w Europie podczas I wojny światowej zdecydowano, że pokonane Niemcy zostaną ich pozbawione na zawsze. Restrykcje te złagodził do- piero Traktat z Locarno z 1925 roku, zgodnie z którym Niemcy odzyskały ograniczo- ne prawo do produkcji sterowców i odbywania nimi lotów3. W 1928 roku zbudowano, sfinansowany ze składek społeczeństwa niemieckiego, pasażerski statek powietrzny LZ o kolejnym numerze 127, któremu 9 lipca 1928 roku nadano imię Graf Zeppelin. Tego samego roku sterowiec ten odbył swój dziewiczy rejs pasażerski do Nowego Jorku. * „Czas sterowców bezpowrotnie przeminął”; słowa te wypowiedział dr Hugo Eckener na spotkaniu z byłymi pra- cownikami koncernu Zeppelina, świętując swoje 80. urodziny, 10 sierpnia 1948 roku: por. cyt. H. KNÄUSEL, Zeppelin. Die Geschichte der Zeppelin-Luftschiffe. Konstrukteure. Technik. Unternehmen, Oberhaching, 2 wyd. 2002, s. 28. Zainteresowanie sterowcami, ich historią i współczesne nam próby przywrócenia aerostatów do ruchu po- wietrznego (np. podczas Igrzysk Olimpijskich w Atenach w 2004 roku), są potwierdzeniem tego, iż część z legen- dy sterowców przetrwała i nadal pobudza wyobraźnię współczesnych, pomimo iż, technologicznie to samoloty zwyciężyły rywalizację o panowanie w powietrzu. 1 Umowa o zawarciu pokoju między Niemcami i Państwami Zwycięskimi i Sprzymierzonymi z 16 lipca 1919 r.
