Range of Application
The Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei (German for German Zeppelin shipping company) has offered tours with Zeppelin NT airships since August 15, 2001. The hull surfaces are used for advertising. ZLG founded DZR as a subsidiary in January 2001.
The craft are also used as observation platforms for photographers and television commentators covering major events.
Due to their capability for low-vibration flight (for up to 24 hours), ZLG considers the airships suitable for research missions for environmental observations, troposphere research and natural resources prospecting.

Famous quotes containing the words range of, range and/or application:
“Jane Addams, founder of Hull House, once asked, “How shall we respond to the dreams of youth?” It is a dazzling and elegant question, a question that demands an answer—a range of answers, really, spiraling outward in widening circles.”
—William Ayers, U.S. author. To Teach: The Journey of a Teacher, ch. 7 (1993)
“During the cattle drives, Texas cowboy music came into national significance. Its practical purpose is well known—it was used primarily to keep the herds quiet at night, for often a ballad sung loudly and continuously enough might prevent a stampede. However, the cowboy also sang because he liked to sing.... In this music of the range and trail is “the grayness of the prairies, the mournful minor note of a Texas norther, and a rhythm that fits the gait of the cowboy’s pony.””
—Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The best political economy is the care and culture of men; for, in these crises, all are ruined except such as are proper individuals, capable of thought, and of new choice and the application of their talent to new labor.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
