BRUCE DICKINSON-Backed Airlander 10 Aircraft Crashes On Its Second Flight (Video)

According to BBC News, the world's longest aircraft, the Airlander 10 — which is backed by various celebrities, including IRON MAIDEN frontman Bruce Dickinson — has crashed during its second test flight.

The 302-foot-long aircraft was damaged when it took a nosedive during a flight from Cardington Airfield in Bedfordshire, United Kingdom. The £25 million aircraft appeared to have run into problems as it was making its way back onto the ground.

Hybrid Air Vehicles, the developer, said all the crew were "safe and well".

A spokesman said: "The flight went really well and the only issue was when it landed."

The aircraft had its first test flight from the airfield on August 17.

Airlanders are low noise, low pollution, and are environmentally friendly. They have ultra-long endurance, and a point-to-point cargo-carrying capacity. They can take off and land vertically and operate from a range of remote environments including water, desert, ice and fields.

Dickinson, who has reportedly invested around £250,000 ($360,000) in the Airlander, told The New Yorker magazine earlier this year: "You want to put a hospital into Africa? You put the whole hospital in the inside of this — whoosh. Start the generator. 'Here's your hospital, buddy!' Job done. You know? You can just plunk the vehicle straight down on the farm, load it with fifty tons of green beans or whatever, and twenty-four hours later you land right next door to the processing plant. It's a global conveyor belt. And water! With these vehicles, you could drop off a twenty-ton slab of water that is clean, drinkable, to an African village. It's astonishing what you can do that you just can’t do with anything else. Shit, you can do that with it? Wow, you can do that with it? Seriously fantastic!"

Dickinson said that he hoped to one day take the Airlander to the North Pole and the South Pole, with the entire journey being live-streamed via the Internet. "You just drop right down onto the ice cap," he said. "Or drop right down on the Atacama Desert, and you go up through the rain forest or whatever, just for shits and giggles. You know?"

Dickinson decided to put his cash into the project after meeting the "genius behind it," the late inventor Roger Munk. The singer told The Guardian: "I told my wife: 'I'm about to put £100k into a big bag of helium. It may go up in smoke.' She said: 'People have to dream, and unless you can dream something, it's never going to happen.'"

He added: "I'm not expecting to get my money back anytime soon, I just want to be part of it. Being a rock person, I could put it up my nose, or buy a million Rolls Royces and drive them into swimming pools, or I could do something useful. There are very few times in your life when you're going to be part of something big."

Unlike traditional airships, the Airlander has no internal structure but it becomes rigid through being filled with helium, at just above atmospheric pressure. The super-strong hull material has been specially designed for Hybrid Air Vehicles by Warwick Mills and assembled by ILC Dover, the company who make NASA spacesuits. Its innovative composition includes a woven fabric for strength on the inside, and a Tedlar layer for protection on the outside, sandwiching a mylar film to retain the helium.

Ничего тупее не мог написать и спросить. Чтобы перевозить большие грузы. А ты, наверно, всё на Оке ездишь, у деда отжал.

Эта фиговина вроде как не более 10 тонн может утащить. Маловато будет=/

А где собственно на видео неудачное приземление?

"Чтобы перевозить большие грузы."

Полезная нагрузка этой едва летающей дуры - 10 тонн, то есть в два раза меньше, чем у вертолета Ми-26.

"Ничего тупее не мог написать и спросить?"

Умиляет вежливость местных умников, принимающих за научно-технический прогресс все, что выливает им на головы интернет-канализация.

Это вертолёт, что ли? Ума палата. Лебедя тебе в свидетели.

Это научно-технический регресс с определёнными целями. А ты можешь вылить свои факты на нас, никого не оскорбляя.
