Scenarios about 'lighter-than-air travel'
Lighter-than-air travel encompasses transportation methods that utilize gases less dense than air, such as hydrogen or helium, to achieve buoyancy and flight. This technology reached its golden age in the early 20th century with rigid airships like zeppelins and blimps before declining after the Hindenburg disaster in 1937. In alternate history scenarios, lighter-than-air travel often continues as a mainstream transportation method, offering possibilities for elegant long-distance travel without the environmental impacts of conventional aviation.
What If The Hindenburg Never Crashed?
Exploring the alternate timeline where the LZ 129 Hindenburg disaster never occurred in 1937, potentially allowing airship travel to remain a viable transportation alternative throughout the 20th century.
