N2 - The Zeppelin NT is a semi rigid airship, produced by Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik GmbH (ZLT) in Friedrichshafen, Germany. It uses three identical tailplanes in an inverted V-arrangement for steering. These tailplanes are built in a stiffened, thin and light CFRP-sandwich shell construction. For this tailplane concept the Institute for Lightweight Structures (LLB) at Technical University of Munich, Germany, has developed an In-Situ monitoring method, based on LAMB-waves, to detect damages due to hailstone impacts. Alternatively, the LLB has researched advanced tailplane designs - to improve resistance to hailstones and to reduce mass versus the current tailplanes - as well as repair mechanisms.
