Airlander 10: World's longest aircraft to go into production and offer 'luxury expeditions'

The aircraft - which had a prototype dubbed the "flying bum" - hopes to take its first paying passengers in the early 2020s.

Great to see the press article below.


I have a list of aircraft that I'd like to fly on:
  • Concorde - sadly never to be realised, unless I settle for a static experience at Manchester Airport Viewing Park!

  • Short Sunderland Flying Boat - is there one still flying?  There is a Sandringham flying boat in the excellent Solent Sky Museum in Southampton.

  • Flying boat of any kind - if the above is no longer possible and at least I know there are lots of these in operation, although surely not as glamorous as  a Sunderland?

  • Airship - with the recent announcement that Hybrid Air Vehicles are going into production with the Airlander 10 now being designed to offer luxury expeditions, perhaps that could be a reality, although there's no news yet on the ticket prices.  Might have to start saving now for several years time! 


I was just wondering what interesting aircraft other community members might have flown in?  Please share your experiences here.

  • The most interesting plane I have flown in (albeit briefly) was a de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver float plane in Vancouver.   A top experience and I enjoyed sitting next to the pilot.
