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.
A hybrid airship is a powered aircraft that obtains some of its lift as a lighter-than-air (LTA) airship and some from aerodynamic lift as a heavier-than-air aerodyne. A dynastat is a hybrid airship with fixed wings and/or a lifting body and is typically intended for long-endurance flights.
Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV) Limited is a British limited company and a British manufacturer of hybrid airships, though none have been built since the crash of its last demonstrator in Nov 2017. These aircraft use both aerodynamics and lighter-than-air (LTA) technology to generate lift, potentially allowing the vehicle to stay aloft for several weeks.
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]

The P-791 has a tri-hull shape, with disk-shaped cushions on the bottom for landing. As a hybrid airship, part of the weight of the craft and its payload are supported by aerostatic (buoyant) lift and the remainder is supported by aerodynamic lift. The combination of aerodynamic and aerostatic lift is an attempt to benefit from both the high ...
Philippines select Hyundai Heavy Industries to build 6 new offshore patrol vessels. [76] The contract to build these vessels was recently signed on June 27, 2022. The ship offered has a heavier displacement of 2400 tonnes and a length of 94.4 meters and width of 14.3 meters.
