Is nothing sacred anymore? Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. says it will team up with Germany’s ZLT Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik to build three new blimps beginning in 2013.
Goodyear’s CEO says updating the fleet will “assure that future generations will be able to experience the joy of seeing a Goodyear blimp gracing the skies.”
The airships will be built by Zeppelin and Goodyear teams at Goodyear’s airship hangar near Akron.
Observing Hermann 
Goodyear drives blimps (=Balloon-Limp, meaning no frame) whereas the Zeppelin design all had frames (Starrluftschiff).
Furthermore, Goodyear fills with Helium, not with flammable Hydrogen.
Never knew where that word came from! Thanks.
