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:
“Viewed freely, the English language is the accretion and growth of every dialect, race, and range of time, and is both the free and compacted composition of all.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“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)
“Great abilites are not requisite for an Historian; for in historical composition, all the greatest powers of the human mind are quiescent. He has facts ready to his hand; so there is no exercise of invention. Imagination is not required in any degree; only about as much as is used in the lowest kinds of poetry. Some penetration, accuracy, and colouring, will fit a man for the task, if he can give the application which is necessary.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
