At the beginning of 1900, the brazilian inventor Santos Dumont, was landing in his apartment in Paris with his airships, that was effectively the very first flying cars. So as you can see, flying cars aren't a futuristic idea, but one from the past. Noted here that Santos Dumont didn't patent his creations, he was a pacifist and didn't want see his creations used for war. Unfortunately, this was inevitable, and the military want faster and powerful vehicles, not useful that would benefit more civilians than military.

Hugo Eckner was NOT a businessman, he was a professor in Philosophy and a journalist.

Considering a rich man is investing in these things again, I'm hoping that him and the company he invested in, would bring these gentle giants back.

A giant airship floating over a city spewing propaganda on loud speakers sounds like something straight out of Half Life. Its bone chilling

Fundamentally the probably is the payload vs. Speed ratio.... A steamship was very slow, but carries far far more cargo, and is the cheapest method of long distance transport. Modern Planes could carry less cargo than a ship, but still more than and airship and faster. So there's really not much of a market for airships as a profitable transport. They could be niche sightseeing vehicles, but the cost of construction is pretty high. Maybe short dinner cruises in the sky that carried a few hundred people could be profitable as opposed to overnight travel. You could ha e 2 or 3 dinner airship cruises per day.

In the first 30 seconds, I knew this was a controlled propaganda, when he said that airships or blimps never took off as a technology. They have been around for centuries ! They are unbelievably resilient they can take a beating and still float look for the original footage online that is heavily censored . They want us to think the right brothers were the first flight in that couldn’t be further from the truth . Look at the original Wright Brothers footage and look how many people are looking at the ground or talking to each other, not paying attention and couldn’t care less and there’s only about 15 people in attendance for the supposed 1st ever manned flight !?! I don’t think so ! On the other hand, these air ships could hold thousands of people . And they can’t hide the hundreds of advertisements found in every language selling tickets for your cruise in the sky across continents or to Antarctica. They were literally everywhere and could land on a Ship out at Sea even! The US Navy had a fleet of dozens of them as did Germany’s Air Force . Silently flew over cities and dropped bombs, decimating nearly all of the old world architecture that they’re hiding from us, and they chalk the vast damage up to “natural fires” or “earthquakes” when in reality the powers that be were on a mission to destroy all evidence that the USA was BY NO MEANS THE “new world” they want us to believe it is.

Airships and thunderstorms don't get along; only one dirigible was lost due to a hydrogen fire, all the rest were lost due to bad weather

In German, we're not calling them something like airships but "Zeppeline".
