LZ 129 Hindenburg ( nem?ko : Luftschiff Zeppelin #129); registracija: D-LZ 129 ) je bila velika nem?ka zra?na ladja (cepelin) s togo strukturo in glavna ladja razreda Hindenburg. Bila najve?ja zra?na ladja po volumnu. Na?rtovalo in zgradilo jo je podjetje Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH v Friedrichshafnu, z njo je poslovalo podjetje Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei . Prvi? je poletela marca 1936 in uspe?no izvedla 63 poletov, potem pa jo je 14 mesecev kasneje uni?il po?ar 6. maja 1937. Ladja je bila napolnjena z vodikom , ker Zdru?ene dr?ave Amerike niso hotele prodati helija nacisti?nemu re?imu. Helij ne gori in je zato bolj varen, vodik pa je dosti cenej?i in daje ve? vzgona kot helij.

Hindenburg je imel togo strukturo iz duraluminija . Imela je 15 nepropustnih pregrad z 16 velikimi vre?ami iz bomba?a (celicami) za vodik, ki je zagotavljal vzgon. Zunanja povr?ina je bila iz bomba?a z reflektivno plastjo, ki je ??itila pred son?nim UV in IR sevanjem, da se vodik ne bi pregrel. Mo?na je bila uporaba duraluminija iz strmoglavnjene britanske ladje R101 , Zeppelin je namre? kupil 5000 kg duraliminij iz te ladje. ^[1]

Pojav letal, plovil te?jih od zraka, je napovedal konec tem veli?astnim plovilom. Malo je pripomogla tudi nesre?a Hindenburga. Danes ni v uporabi skoraj nobene zra?ne ladje s togo strukturo. Uporabljajo se precej manj?i nerigidni "blimpi", katerih obliko balona vzdr?uje helij. Obstajajo na?rti za nove super ladje kot so SkyCat , Walrus HULA in Lockheed Martin P-791
