A high priority for these recent years has been to look for an alternate form of travel on the road. Maybe we’ve been looking in the wrong place. In Friedrichshafen, Germany, a forgotten innovation has made its way back to saving its citizens from the plight of high fuel prices.
The zeppelin provided the first form of airline service in the early 1900s. And now it appears that it can make a comeback as a public transportation in the sky. Not only does it run on low fuel costs, it does not appear to have a negative impact on air quality. We may be a long way from the Jetsons’ flying cars, but the zeppelin has certainly opened the skies for newer possibilities.
