The human exploration of flying has never stopped from ancient to modern times. Based on the existing technology and imagination, we have developed a lot of strange aircraft, such as the new species Airlander 10 dubbed “flying butt”. The weird form refreshes your knowledge of the aircraft in minutes.

The Airlander 10 looks like a huge sexy butt, and the nickname "Fly Ass" is also named, but it should essentially be a combination of an airplane and an airship.

According to statistics, the Airlander 10 R&D program began in 2010. It was originally designed to meet the requirements of the US Army. The original intention of the project was to deploy a communications relay that could be left blank for long periods of time and reconnaissance and surveillance over places like the Afghanistan frontline. , intelligence platform.

In 2013, the U.S. military cancelled the project and Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV) took it and hoped to convert it to commercial use. I thought that the dilemma of funding would be a turn for the better, but this time it didn’t last long, and then once again stopped development due to lack of funds, resulting in this semi-finished product has been parked in Belford County, the eastern part of England. It seems that this kind of cutting-edge technology innovation The project does burn money!

Until last year, the British government decided to allocate 3.4 million pounds to fund the project, and Airlander 10's manufacturers were able to complete the remaining R&D work. In short, this product's advent was quite a twist.

Let's take a look at the data on Airlander 10:

The weight of the aircraft: 44,100 pounds (20,000 kg)

Length, width, height are: 92 meters long, 44 meters wide, 26 meters high

The height it can reach: 20,000 feet (6,100m)

The fastest speed: 80 knots (148km/h)

Maximum time for manned flight: 5 days

Weight that can be transported: 22,050 lbs (10,000 kg)

The Airlander 10's thrust is provided by four ducted fans driven by 325 horsepower V8 diesel engines. And because it is a hybrid aircraft, there are two sources of lift: more than 60% are provided by helium in the airbag, which is the same as that of an airship; the rest of the lift is the aerodynamic lift produced by the forward flight.

Just a few days ago, the Airlander 10, which was 15 meters longer than the world’s largest passenger aircraft, the A380, completed a maiden maiden flight in the United Kingdom. After circling the air for a safe landing, it was only a short 20 minutes. Items are tested normally.

Successful test flight

When the designer proudly called it "Great British Invention," on the seventh day of the test flight, it accidentally hit the telephone pole... and was forced to dive and fall to the ground at an extremely slow speed. On the other hand, neither the driver nor the ground staff suffered casualties, only causing minor damage to the cockpit.

Slowly falling

Generally speaking, the process of crashing the aircraft is fast and violent, but because the “flying buttock” is too big and is itself a complex of airships and helicopters, the crash is very slow. This is probably the slowest in history. The "crash" was.

The concept of an aircraft such as the Airlander 10 has been proposed for many years, but its commercial use has not yet been explored and the success has been a blank state, and developers want to use it for rescue, communications, transportation and other fields. The landmark flight test, although some minor glitches occurred lately, has generally verified the feasibility of the technology and has given R&D even greater confidence.
