Airlander 10, also known as the “Flying Bum” due to its rather unusual shape is currently the world’s longest aircraft.

The Airlander 10 is 302 feet long, making it 60-feet longer than the world’s largest passenger plane, the Airbus A380, which measures in at 240 feet.

Despite its not too attractive exterior, the luxury aircraft will more than make up for that with its exquisitely designed interior.

The aircraft can take off and land from virtually any flat surface, which eliminates the need for traditional infrastructure such as ports or airports.

The hybrid helium airship built by Hybrid Air Vehicles will feature a state of the art interior, rivalling that of a luxury hotel or cruise boat.

The curvaceous craft has a 46meter long cabin with plush en suite bedrooms, an on-board “altitude” bar and glass flooring that provides horizon-to-horizon views, providing an ostentatiously costly and luxurious flying experience to those privileged and wealthy enough to get on board.

While the Airlander 10 is the longest passenger aircraft, it won’t be the fastest. It only has a top speed of just 91mph which is just a fraction of the speed that a traditional passenger aircraft like the 560mph A380 can travel.

The Airlander 10 is also fitted with four 325 horsepower V8 diesel engines that can propel it to speeds of up to 148kmph and provide vertical thrust for horizontal takeoffs.

It has space for a payload capable of carrying up to 10 tonnes and a set of retractable pneumatic “skids” that can be used for landing on land, sand, water or ice.

Due to its part-airship, part-helicopter and part-plane, the 92-meter-long Airlander 10 owes its ability to float to 38,000 cubic meters of helium.

The pressure of the lighter-than-air gas helps maintain the aerodynamic shape of a hull made from carbon fiber, Kevlar and Mylar.

According Foxnews, CEO of Hybrid Air Vehicles, Stephen McGlennan said “Airlander challenges people to rethink the skies — that’s the driving force behind everything we do, Air travel has become very much about getting from A to B as quickly as possible.

What we’re offering is a way of making the journey a joy.”

The Airlander 10 has successfully completed six test flights so far, suffering some incidents like a collapse in UK where the aircraft went loose from its moorings.

It still needs to complete 200hours of test flights without incidents to prove its safety before been opened to customers.

This looks like over bloated baloon.

On a serious note technology and mordern invention is making a landlocked countries never to worry about lack of access to see ports.

OneCorner:

Yes. The plane will be packing sea water and be bringing it to landlocked countries

I know u are brain dead because anyone that supports apc is emty upstairs.

With the invention of larger air crafts it is now possible to haul lage cargos vie air instead of sea only. I hope i have educated a brain dead islamist like u and while u are on it, remember not to mention me again because i dont respond to muslims.

I'm seeing the Heinsberg disaster happening once again

baby124:
I am not interested in flying this one o. It doesn’t look like the engine will be able to carry this one o.

Jiang:

it will not be profitable, a single cargo ship is able to carry 15,000 to 18, 000 tones and it ain't as expensive to fuel and maintain like this big ballon that can probably only carry a maximum of 100 tons of you remove all the unnecessary extravagance

Publishing your book is way easier than you think. Reach out for more.
