Gross-Basenach or Groß-Basenach is the designation for a series of five so-called M-class German military semi-rigid airships constructed by balloonist Nikolaus Basenach and Major Hans Georg Friedrich Groß (1860–1924) of the Royal Prussian Airship Battalion Nr 2〔Luisenstadt 2008〕 between 1907 and 1914. They produced one experimental and four so-called military Groß-Basenach types, rebuilding each one several times. In all they were not as successful as Major Groß wished. He was one of the sharpest critics of the Zeppelin airship system. However the war and the ever increasing demands on airship performance left his own system in oblivion. Even his direct competitors, Parseval and the rigid airship maker Schütte-Lanz, did not fare differently after the war's end. ==''Versuchsluftschiff''== The ''Versuchluftschiff'' (experimental airship) had a volume of 1,800 cubic metres and had a keel directly under the balloon envelope. It was mostly constructed by the firm Siemens-Schuckert GmbH.〔Pilot und Luftschiffe〕 The first flight took place at 1907-05-07.〔 The power plant was a 24-25 horsepower (HP)〔 Gaggenau automobile engine and allowed a top speed of . Later the airship was rebuilt, including among other things the empennage. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gross-Basenach」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
