Airlander 10 sustains damage but no one injured on landing in fields during second test flight at Cardington airfield. The world’s largest aircraft, a part-plane, part-airship hybrid being developed in the UK, has crashed during its second test flight. The 92-metre-long (302ft) Airlander 10 was damaged during the flight from RAF Cardington airfield, Bedfordshire. Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV), which is developing the Airlander 10, denied reports it had crashed into a telegraph pole in nearby fields. The company tweeted: “Airlander sustained damage on landing during today’s flight. No damage was sustained mid-air or as a result of a telegraph pole as reported. “We’re debriefing following the second test flight this morning. All crew are safe and well and there are no injuries”.
