World’s largest aircraft The Airlander 10, leaves its hangar for the first time

World's largest aircraft leaves its hangar for the first time: Amazing scale of the 92metre-long 'bum plane' is revealed The world's largest aircraft left its hangar for the first time today. The Airlander 10 inched out of the hangar in Cardington, Bedfordshire. It was a delicate operation as there was only a six metre clearance from the fin tip to the sides of the hangar doors. It commenced a brief series of ground systems tests before its first flight later this month. The craft - a cross between an airship and a plane - cost £25million to build and has been converted from military to civilian use. The craft gets its nickname of the 'Flying Bum' from his shape. | DailyMail via IFTTT
