Blimp Airship

  • Rare close-up recordings of a blimp engine (2x Goodyear with 154 kW) .

    A unique propeller motor with a well-known and reconizable sound.

    I was able to spend a short time during an engine test with one of the few airships in the world, a WDL blimp in Essen, Germany. The engine performed three different constant RPMs and all the transitions plus some additional rev-ups. I was able to record the noises with up to three mono mics (one on the engine and the other two a bit further away) and a stereo set up (onboard in the cabin most of the time). Check the file list for details.

    In addition I recorded one ambience with a fly-by and the cabin doors opening and closing, some knobs being pushed and the air valve operating.

    All files meta-tagged and use the UCS naming system.
