They eventually strapped a machine gun to the plane.

Later Zeppelins were sent to bomb cities.

Meaning if just the tinniest fire got in there the whole thing would blow up.

The demands of war time invoked a rapid development in aviation. Manufactures developed faster while better and faster planes were being built. Airships saw advancements in design, propulsion, and lifting gases. Also, with the introduction of newer aircraft, the need for stronger and lighter materials to improve performance was required. Manufacturers experimented with several metals such as aluminum, and developed more efficient engines and propeller designs.

Airplanes are still used today as the primary mode of long distance transportation, with millions of flights taking place every year. Planes were also made to be a lot faster today with unparalleled speed to be transported quickly over long distances. Airships today also transitioned into a more commercial based aircraft with companies using them for advertisement.
