Yesterday, 17th august, the Airlander 10 made it's first flight...it has a cruising speed of 80kts. The day the manufacturer will increase the pax load to 80-100 people, keeping the same speed, it might be a safer...even if slower...alternative to present aircraft (unless w.s. is eliminated by law) for the St.Helena trips...about 15 Hours from Walvis Bay (1200 NM), and about 22-23 Hours from CPT (1800NM)...it can even land anywhere else in the island, also straight to the apron, avidoiding (in VMC) both approach paths...
