Birthday of the Blimp
July 8. 1838. was the birthday of German Count
Ferdinand von Zeppelin, inventor of the airship
called the zeppehn. or dirigible It is also known as
a blimp, a word that some believe comes from its air
ship classification as a “Type B-hmp ” Von Zeppelin
put an engine on his airship in 1900, three years
before the Wright brothers designed their engine, but
the zeppehn was lighter than air, which distinguished
it from heavier-than-air craft
such as planes The British
used blimps in World Wai to
scout tor submarines Today,
" I blimps proudly float above
m/ most maior sporting events.
