Airlander 10 in Hangar One at Cardington Airfield, January 2016. The HAV 304 / Airlander 10 is a hybrid airship, achieving lift, and thereby flight, via both aerostatic and aerodynamic forces. Unlike most airship designs, it does not have a circular cross-section, having adopted an elliptical shape with a contoured and flattened hull.
The Airlander 10 landed nose-down on 24 August 2016 during its second test flight on the Cardington airfield in Bedfordshire, causing damage to the cockpit. [14] Repairs were completed by February the following year, [ 15 ] and the Airlander recommenced its flight test programme on 10 May 2017. [ 16 ]

The site started life as a private venture when aircraft manufacturing company Short Brothers bought land there to build airships for the Admiralty.It constructed a 700-foot-long (210 m) Airship hangar (the No. 1 Shed) in 1915 to enable it to build two rigid airships, the R-31 and the R-32.
A redesigned Airlander 10 was announced in January 2020, with new gondola, nose and tail sections, extending the overall length to 98 metres (322 ft). A research project to power the aircraft with electric motors was undertaken with the University of Nottingham. The company hopes to have the improved Airlander flying by 2024. [18]
Aerospace Developments (AD) was founded in 1970 [2] by John Wood and Roger Munk (Jeffrey Roger Munk 1947–2010). [3] [4] Its first major project was the design of a very large – 549 m (1,801 ft) long with 2,750,000 m 3 (97,000,000 cu ft) of gas capacity [note 1] – rigid airship for Shell International Gas.
