According to the daily mail, the world's largest aircraft Airlander 10 scheduled to start its first test flight in late July. Former Airlander 10 from the United States military plans LEMV program.

But in the United States military tide forced reductions in 2013, sold to United Kingdom Hybrid Air Vehicles (hybrid air airships of companies, referred to as HAV), put the LEMV HAV company shipped back to the United Kingdom to continue research and development and later stopped due to lack of development, and moored at Bell Ford County. 2015 through the United Kingdom authorities funded and HAV all the chips, renovation continues. And launch two product series Airlander 10 Airlander 50.
Airlander 10 airship filled with 1.3 million cubic feet of helium, these gases enough to fill 15 Olympic swimming pool. HAV said its test flight and technical details, said Airlander 10 will be in the United Kingdom test over Kart parts of Bedfordshire, including controlled tests, electrical system, calibrated airspeed, as well as other aspects of performance.
Second phase of testing will require regulatory approval, and test Airlander 10 at a maximum speed of 144 kilometers and maximum elevation 10000 feet to sail 60 nautical miles per hour.
HAV's Chief test pilot David Burns (David Burns) said: "Although we have flights on the ground for hours, but still need to collect flight data to prove its performance. During the tests, the team on the ground will receive data from more than 1000 different sensor, display and monitor its performance and behavior in real time. On the first flight data analysis and report writing, and eventually submitted to the supervision authority in order to test for the second time. "
Airlander 10 is the world's largest aircraft, Airlander 10 long and 92 metres, width of 44 meters high, 26 m, weight up to 10,000 kg. More huge than the Airbus A380 size, but lower than Germany in the 1930 of the 20th century developed the "Hindenburg" airship should be small, "the Hindenburg", 245 meters long, weight 206 tons. On May 6, 1937, the "Hindenburg" due to static electric spark caused a hydrogen explosion during landing, killing 35 people. After Britain, the United States also has many large airships crashed one after another, unable to resolve security issues ended the hydrogen airship technology lines, since the development of airships was halted.

With the advancement of technology, became safer helium instead of hydrogen gas chapters of modern airship, airship began to get people's attention, countries in the world have again started to develop airships.
Airlander 10 belonged to the air-hybrid vehicle, buoyancy of lighter than air gases 60%, 40% air power provided by the wing-like device, it can 25% of the rotary engine to provide additional impetus to push up or down. This means that Airlander 10 can hover over any surface, including snow and ice, desert and water quality. Airlander 10 can fly in the air for 2 weeks. DVF lips iPhone case
Airlander 10 successfully suspended testing, but flight testing the specific date has not been announced. After a successful test, the first based on the prototype aircraft will begin production. Diane Von Furstenberg iPhone 5 case
HAV Nike·aoerman Project Manager (Nick Allman) said: "according to weather conditions, we will begin the final phase of ground tests, including 4 engines running full power tests, since similar tests could not be conducted in the hangar for security reasons. In the past few months, we've made remarkable progress, which excited about the aviation sector as a whole, will completely change the game rules for air travel. "
It is interesting, for Airlander 10 unique styling, raised on the social networking site users spoof.
