LZ 10 Schwaben

LZ 10 Schwaben was a German rigid airship built by Luftschiffbau Zeppelin in 1911 and operated by DELAG (Deutsche Luftschiffahrts-Aktiengesellschaft) for passenger service.

The cylindrical hull structure was braced by a triangular keel running most of its length, which was widened amidships to accommodate the passenger cabin, which had a capacity of 20 people.

The Prince, who had a pilot's license, travelled in the control car, while the Princess and her attendants occupied the passenger cabin for a flight over Berlin.

The hydrogen was ignited by spark caused by static electricity accumulated in the rubberised cotton gasbags:[8] in moments the entire ship had been burnt.
