Airlander 10 reaches 'highest altitude so far'

Andrew Johnson over 6 years ago

After a "bumpy" start this exciting project seems to be making progress at last, hopefully can be commercial success also?

Another Test Flight completed yesterday evening.

Airlander flew for a little over 3 hours again.

Test Objectives revolved around expanding the flight envelope and further testing of the flight characteristics.

The next few flights will be a few weeks apart, in order to give time for a full analysis of the data collected on the flight, and plan, prepare and train for each subsequent flight.
