Hybrid Air Vehicles has revealed the longest flying object in the world.  Built in a hangar in Cardington Bedfordshire, the first test flight should be conducted later this summer.

The Airlander 10 is 302ft (92m) long, which is about 60ft (18m) longer than the biggest airliners.

 

A British firm has spent the past nine years developing the prototype in the UK's biggest aircraft hangar, at Cardington in Bedfordshire.

 

It will be floated inside the hangar for the first time since its completion on Monday.

 

The airship, which cost £25m to build, can stay in the same spot for three weeks and can even fly with bullet holes in it.
