Seems like controlling a huge balloon would be a little challenging.
In: Engineering
The big zeppelins like the Hindenburg weren’t one giant “balloon. There were 11 different inflatable sacks surrounded by a protective layer.
They could add or remove air from any individual air sack – or empty all at the same time to descend straight down.
They also carried a large amount of water ballast that they could drop when needed.
Either way there still weren’t “manoeuvrable” in any useful way
