AirLander take off then 2nd Flight Mishap

Well, according to the website it's a $50Billion market...

I just can't fathom how well it can do with headwind or side wind.


The 10 model as seen here will have a bigger brother, the 50 that is supposed to be able to carry 50tons (That's metric Tonnes).
Be nice to see the loading ramps and tie down racks.

Isn't this just a Helium balloon with a few tiny fans for steering?


Flight:
World's largest aircraft the Airlander takes first flight in UK
