Last August the aircraft had suffered a crash in the fields of Bedfordshire in England. The cockpit of the plane had suffered damage after the rough landing. However, after the incident, the instrument panels, an overhead console, and wirings have been successfully reinstalled.
It was initially developed for the US government as a surveillance ship, but it was neglected later on. However, Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV) started thinking of flying the Airlander once again. The aircraft uses helium gas to fly in the air and flies at 150 km/h. Made of the sturdy Vectran material; it maintains its pressure due to the helium itself.
The Airlander 10, does not require any runway and can be used for multiple purposes like passenger travelling, communications, supervision, etc.
