Trivia Question: Zeppelin airships are named for what historical figure?
Answer: Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin
Count Ferdinand was taken with the concept of human flight. To that end, he experimented with massive rigid-framed airships that he hoped would be the future of air travel. Zeppelins have naturally fallen out of favor because of their inefficiency, but they remain curiosities of German engineering.
