Birthday of the Blimp
July 8, 1838, was the birthday of German Count
Ferdinand von Zeppelin, inventor of the airship
called the zeppelin, or dirigible. It is also known as a
blimp, a word that comes from its airship classification
as a ‘Type B-limp.” Von Zeppelin put an engine on his
airship in 1900, three years before the Wright brothers
•designed their engine, but the
zeppelin was lighter than air,
which distinguished it from
heavier-than-air craft such as
planes. The British used blimps
in World War I to scout for sub
marines. Today, blimps proudly
float above most major sporting
events, offering televised broadcasts.
Ingenious contrivances to facilitate motion,
and unite levity with strength.
kt When flying, chew gum or drink e little juice to clear the
eerc on take-off and landing.
