Looking at the pictures… where is the cargo stored?
- aaron695 5y agoAnything with 'solar' panels is a dead give away as bullshit for the masses. But that part is fine. Most of the Hindenburg was in the envelope for instance - https://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/news-photo/zeppelin-lz129-hindenburg-car-in-the-hold-of-the-airship-news-photo/543903929 https://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/news-photo/zeppelin-lz129-... https://www.core77.com/posts/69842/First-Class-Travel-1930s-Style-What-Were-the-InteriorsFloorplan-Like-Inside-the-Hindenburg https://www.core77.com/posts/69842/First-Class-Travel-1930s-...
- dredmorbius 5y agoInternally. The outer skin of an airship typically is not the lifting-gas containment itself, which is provided by internal gas bags. Crew, mechanical, passenger, and cargo are stored within the structure, typically on or near the lower keel. See schematics of the earlier Zeppelin airships for a general idea: https://www.airships.net/hindenburg/interiors/ https://www.airships.net/hindenburg/interiors/ Note that offloading cargo or passengers must be compensated for by either loading of balast, tie-downs, or by releasing (or repressurising) lifting gas.
