Zeppelin flight

Would you like to view the world from a relaxed position high above - from a box seat in the sky? Then you should book a flight on the Zeppelin NT, the biggest airship in the world.

Airship aviation is still the most pleasant and relaxed way of flying through the air. Alone the takeoff of a zeppelin cannot be compared to that of a plane. While the effort a plane has to make to lift off is clearly noticeable, a zeppelin floats up with the greatest of ease, quietly and comfortably. At a height of around 300 - 500 metres you enjoy the marvellous panoramic view over city and countryside.

You are 'flying', mind you: manoeuvrable airships, which Count Zeppelin invented and for which he applied for a patent in 1895 as a 'steerable aircraft with several supporting structures arranged behind one another', must not be confused with blimps, which you are familiar with as colourful advertising vehicles or hot-air balloons - these aircraft only 'run'.

On board you travel luxuriously and in style: the twelve passengers sit in soft leather chairs - all of them window seats, of course - and view the landscape through enormous panoramic windows. After reaching flight altitude, they can move around freely in the spacious cabin, look over the pilot's shoulder or enjoy the spectacular view through the curved plexiglass windows of the rear observation deck.

At the same time the eight-ton airship quietly follows its course across the sky at a cruising speed of around 70 km/h, which it can increase to about 130 km/h thanks to state-of-the-art technology whose fly-by-wire control can match that of an Airbus. The nicest thing is the truly heavenly peace. No roaring burner as in a hot-air balloon or rotor noise as in a helicopter disturbs the enjoyment of the flight. A zeppelin is not even as loud as a car because the power units are not mounted directly onto the passenger gondola, but on the side and at the rear of the supporting structure.

Flights with the airship generally take place between March and October. The zeppelin is stationed in Friedrichshafen and flies circuits from there over the marvellous countryside around Lake Constance. On request the zeppelin also comes to your city, incorporated into your company or product image, to the delight of your event guests and as an attention-getting attraction for young and old.
