PICTURES: World’s Biggest Aircraft, Airlander 10, Unveiled In UK Hangar

Bigger isn’t always better, but it can be very impressive.

This is the Airlander 10, thought to be the largest aircraft in the world.

It was unveiled floating in a massive hangar in Cardington, Bedfordshire this week.

Originally developed by the US military, the Airlander 10 was brought back to the UK by Hybrid Air Vehicles.

The airship/plane is 92m (302ft) long, 15m (50ft) longer than the biggest passenger jets.
It will undergo ground tests before 200 hours of flight tests later this year.

It can land and take off on almost any terrain and on water, and can stay airborne for five days.
