ZLT Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik GmbH & Co KG

ZLT Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik GmbH & Co KG was founded in September 1993 and is based in Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance. The object of the company comprises the development, manufacturing and sale of Zeppelin airships of New Technology.

Founded over 100 years ago by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin (1838-1917), the business combination for airship development and manufacturing still exists today. From the Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH founded in 1908 the international industrial companies Zeppelin GmbH and ZF Friedrichshafen AG and others derived. Today, the main shareholders of the ZLT Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik GmbH & Co KG are the ZF group with 49 % and the Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH with 51 %.

The application range of present airships was considerably extended by introducing the semi-rigid structure as a new construction principle, an innovative propulsion system and fly-by-wire control systems. Furthermore, the staff-intensive ground handling during take-off and landing typical for normal airships could be dropped.

In 2001, the receipt of the type certification for the Zeppelin NT and the certification for ZLT Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik GmbH & Co KG as an airship manufacturing company laid the foundations for the future of airship manufacturing in Friedrichshafen.
