EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Ballon de Lyon," an intriguing aerial photograph from the early days of aviation history, showcases the innovative design of a unique non-rigid airship named after the French city of Lyon. The image, taken from a bird's-eye perspective, captures the aircraft with its distinctive shape and dimensions. The airship, named "Le Ballon de Lyon," is shown hovering above the ground, with its long, slender body and large, rounded ends. The plane's high-altitude capabilities are evident from its towering height, with its feet barely touching the ground and its diameter reaching approximately 120 feet. The plane's dimensions are further highlighted in the image, with its length measuring around 102 feet. The plane's innovative design was a departure from the rigid airships of the time, which relied on a rigid framework to maintain their shape. Instead, "Le Ballon de Lyon" utilized a non-rigid, or semi-rigid, design, which allowed for greater maneuverability and flexibility. This design was made possible by the use of a large, reinforced envelope filled with hydrogen gas, which provided both lift and buoyancy. The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the ingenuity and creativity of the early aviation pioneers. It serves as a reminder of the rapid advancements in technology and the boundless possibilities of human innovation. This image is a must-have for any aviation enthusiast or history buff, offering a unique perspective on the evolution of air travel.
