the worlds largest aircraft

The 302-foot-long, 143-foot-wide and 85-foot-tall Airlander 10 made its maiden voyage out of Cardington Airfield in Bedfordshire, England, on Wednesday, reaching a height of 500 feet and a maximum speed of 35 knots. The flight lasted about 20 minutes. The helium-filled aircraft has garnered a lot of attention for its massive size and distinct shape, but British manufacturer Hybrid Air Vehicles is quick to point out that the Airlander 10’s design could be a game changer for low-carbon aviation.
