The world's longest aircraft called Airlander 10, which is as large as a
football pitch and as high as six double decker buses, is set to take
its first test flight in a few days time. The unique aerodynamic
balloon-like shape of the Airlander 10 cost $100 million (£60m) to make
and can fly at maximum speed of 92mph for five days straight, it carries
around 10-tons of cargo and can land on water. Some people say it has
the shape of Reality star, Kim Kardashian's Butt..
Measuring 302ft (92m) in length the new airship is about 60ft longer
than the biggest airliners, the Airbus A380 and Boeing 747-8.
The Airlander 10 can also stay floating, unmanned, for three weeks even
with bullet holes in it was originally developed from 2009 for the US
Army, which abandoned the project.
