Etymology
The concept of an airship dates back to the late 18th century when the first designs for lighter-than-air vehicles were proposed. The invention of the airship revolutionized transportation and warfare in the early 20th century, with iconic examples like the Zeppelin airships. However, the Hindenburg disaster in 1937 marked a turning point in the use of airships for commercial travel. Despite their decline in popularity, airships continue to capture the imagination of people around the world.
