Still Waters Posted November 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 18, 2017 The world's longest aircraft has collapsed to the ground less than 24 hours after a successful test flight. The £25m Airlander 10 - a combination of a plane and an airship - appeared to "break in two" at its base in Cardington, Bedfordshire, an eyewitness told the BBC. It then deflated and collapsed to the ground. One woman on the ground suffered minor injuries. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-42037832 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Monk Posted November 26, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) It's filled with 1.3 million cubic feet of helium - enough to fill 15 Olympic swimming pools. Edited November 26, 2017 by Black Monk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
