Zeppelin LZ 80The Imperial German Army Zeppelin LZ 80 was a R-class World War I zeppelin.Operational historyThe airship took part in 13 reconnaissance missions around the North and Baltic Sea; three attacks on England dropping of bombs. The designers tried to make LZ 80 more efficient by removing one engine making the airship lighter.Siemens torpedo glider testingThe last test flight of the Siemens torpedo glider was performed on August 2, 1918. On this flight a biplane glider was launched from Zeppelin LZ 80. The glider was released from over the Havel river and worked as expected until its control wire that attached the glider to the Zeppelin snapped and the glider spun out of control.
