Largest Aircraft in the World is the Airlander (VIDEO)

So what is the world’s largest aircraft? The largest aircraft in the world has been unveiled by Hybrid Air Vehicles Ltd. The Hybrid Air Vehicles Airlander 10 (previously the HAV304) is 92m long and is bigger and more environmentally-friendly than a 747.

Originally built for the US military, the helium-filled aircraft was dismantled and shipped back to Bedford UK where it is being prepared for it’s first UK test flight, planned for December.

Hybrid Air Vehicles is currently developing the Airlander 50, which will be able to carry 50 passengers, or 50 tonnes of freight.

The company expects there to be as many airships as helicopters in the sky in years to come.
