The airship inclines its lattéraux engines to give the implusion of takeoff. It takes off thus with the vertical.
The propeller placed at the rear makes it possible to make swivel the airship. |

The take-off and landing procedures, which are optimised by the swivelling propellers, require a ground crew of only a few members under normal weather conditions. The nose is decoupled from the mast truck when taking off. When landing, the airship is self-manoeuvring with the propeller thrust into the desired position. In order to moor the Zeppelin, the nose line is attached to the mooring mast line and the Zeppelin is pulled towards the mast. |
