<P> The Hindenburg class were built to an all - duralumin design . The leader of the design team was Dr. Ludwig Dürr , who had overseen the design of all Zeppelins except LZ - 1 ( on which he was a crew member ) , under the overall direction of Hugo Eckener , the head of the company . They were 245 m ( 804 ft ) long and 41 m ( 135 ft ) in diameter , longer than three Boeing 747s placed end - to - end , longer than four Goodyear GZ - 20 `` blimps '' end - to - end , and only 24 m ( 79 ft ) shorter than the RMS Titanic . The previous largest civilian airship , with a length of 237 m ( 777 ft ) and a width of 40 m ( 130 ft ) , was the British R101 , which was completed in 1929 . The US Navy 's Akron and Macon were 239 m ( 785 ft ) long and 44 m ( 144 ft ) wide . </P>
