The Centennial Celebration July 2, 2000 is a very special, if not the most important, day for the
zeppelin aircraft. It is 100 years ago that the LZ1 took off for the first
time. To celebrate this event, the Zeppelin anniversary will take place
in Friedrichshafen from June 30 to July 9, 2000. There will be an airship parade and the spectacular laser show by the Lake Constance side on July 2, the day of the official opening of the celebration. Various institutions of Friedrichshafen, commercial, gastronomic and industrial enterprises together present a cultural and a culinary program of events round the zeppelins. There is a new zeppelin generation being created and developed in Friedrichshafen - Zeppelin NT (New Technology). The new high-tech airships have the same shape and framework as their predecessors built before WWII had, but time has not stood still since then. The new airships are as safe as any passenger airplane. These rigid airships filled with inflammable helium are extremely weatherproof because of a new type of covering and fully controlled even in bad weather conditions with their two lateral engines and a rear engine that reach a speed of 140 km/h. The engines enable the airship to land independently, while up to a hundred ground crew were necessary before. The new zeppelins are ecologically sound, consume very little energy, and move almost noiselessly at a height up to 2500 m.
