SLIDE SHOW VIDEO The British company Hydrid Air Vehicles has officially presented its Airlander 10, the largest aircraft in the world.
It is a press release in the form of an announcement: "Hybrid Air Vehicles is happy to announce the end of the assembly of the Airlander". The aircraft with oversized measurements was presented for the first time on Monday March 21. With its 92 meters long, it greatly exceeds the 73 meters of the A380 and the 71 of the B787. Assembly of the Airlander 10 was completed "on time and on budget," said the British company.
World's Largest Aircraft is the Airlander 10 airship and it has left its hanger
August 09
The world's largest aircraft, known fondly as the 'Flying Bum', left its hangar for the first time today.
The Airlander 10, which cost £ 25million to build over 10 years, is 92 meters long and pumped with a million cubic feet of helium.
The part-plane, part-airship left its hangar in Cardington, Bedfordshire at 4am today to begin a brief series of ground systems tests before its first flight later this month.
The 302-feet-long craft was originally developed as part of a US Army project which was then abandoned in 2012
A British company has converted the aircraft - a cross between an airship and an airplane - for civilian use
It will fly to 4,000 feet at speeds of up to 46 mph in a series of six test flights above Cardington, Bedfordshire
The 'Flying Bum' can carry 48 passengers and is designed to be flown by remote control for up to three weeks
