he Airlander 10, billed as the world's largest aircraft - a cross between a plane, an airship and a helicopter is the length of a football pitch and the height of six double-decker buses, which dwarfs the current world's largest passenger jet, the Airbus A380 pictured in its hanger at Cardington Airships, Bedfordshire.
The hybrid aircraft promises to be able to lift heavier payloads than passenger planes, while producing far less noise and pollution, and having a smaller carbon footprint. It needs to clock up 200 hours of flying before it is deemed airworthy by the Civil Aviation Authority and the European Aviation Safety Agency.

Holidays of the Future
Our annual break in the sun is being redefined as holidaymakers, tour operators, hotels and resorts all adapt and innovate to save the world's ever dwindling resources.
According to a major report sustainable holidays must represent the future of mass tourism.
Carried out for Thomson Holidays by The Future Laboratory, the Sustainable Holiday Futures report reveals that change is needed to prevent a number of bleak scenarios from becoming reality by 2030.
Looking ahead to 2030, the report predicts a number of exciting new trends and developments. These include:
- A new generation of airships featuring stunning, cathedral-like internal spaces housing bars, restaurants and even apartments, recreating the golden age of travel and creating a new style of travel called 'slowtopianism'.
- Aqua-villages: zero-impact floating resorts which harvest energy from the sun, wind and rain, locally source all materials and food and which can be moved leaving no trace of its presence.
- Imagined villages built on former urban or brownfield sites, created as artificial or imagined worlds to provide respite from the real world
- The transformation of the world's largest airports into aerovilles. Destinations in their own right featuring state-of-the-art cinemas, hotels and restaurants.
- Second-generation biofuels developed from algae which will be mixed with jet fuel to power aircraft with significantly reduced carbon emissions.
As part of the report, Thomson has also unveiled its hotel room of the future, which includes a wide range of energy saving features which they predict will be commonplace in the coming years.
The room features a water-efficient bathroom where water from the wash basin and shower is used to flush the toilet, as well as a shower with eco-flow control...
