THE FATE OF THE airship

In 1937, the Zeppelin company launched the first

~atlantic (1) service with its great airship, the Hinderburg.

Travel by airship was faster and more comfort (2) than travel by ship, and people had been looking for the

Hinderburg's first flу (3) for some time.

Most airships were designed to work with helium to keep the airship buoyant, but the Americans rejected Germany’s request for helium which is flame (4), but was not industrially available at that time. As a result, the Zeppelin was full (5) with hydrogen. It was a bomb waiting to explode.

A few minutes before the arrive (6) to New Jersey, the passengers went to the windows to wave to the people waiting for them on the ground below. It was at that moment that the great ship caught fire. 36 people died in an explode (7).

Two years later the remaining Zeppelins were destruction (8) and the age of airships as a means of transportation was over. However, airships have still been used for polar explore

  1. , warfare and advertising. This and similarity (10) tragedies have made people very caution (11) about the use of hydrogen as a fuel for transport, but with careful planning it can be used at least as save (12) as petrol. Many scientists believe that we should run a hydrogen economic (13). Hydrogen can be extracted quite cheaply from water by electrolysis. Much science (14) and technological effort is being spent on effective store (15) and transport systems.

MARVELS OF TECHNOLOGY

The twentieth century has witnessed many spectacle (1) technical developments, but nowhere more evidence (2) than in transport. Up until the 1820’s when the steam engine was invented, transport on land relied on human or animal force and its efficient (3) depended on the decent road system. Similar (4), sea travel depended on muscle power and predict (5) winds. The nineteenth century relied heavy (6) on steam to power trains and boats for

transport (7) of goods and passengers, and it was not until the invent (8) of the motor car that road transportation became essence (9) again. But of course the most impress (10) breakthrough has been in air transport.

The speed with which people can travel vast expand (11) of the planet has not only greatly increased the possible mile (12) an average person covers in his lifetime, but it has also changed our perceive (13) of the world. It is now define (14) a much smaller place than it
