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 .
