THE ONCE US BLIMP AIRSHIP AS ENVISIONED FOR MILITARY PURPOSE IS NOW REJUVENATED BY BRITISH INVESTORS AS A CIVILIAN AIRCRAFT AS THE AIRLANDER 10 MAKES ITS MAIDEN VOYAGE

The Airlander 10 made history with its maiden flight on Wednesday (Aug 17) in Bedfordshire in Central England.
The jumbo aircraft, measuring 92m long and 43.5m wide, is said to be the largest aircraft in the world.
Spectators gawked in awe as the bean-shaped aircraft, nicknamed "the flying bum" due to its bulbous exterior, soared through the sky.
The success of its first flight could be the hallmark of a new era for air travel.
Not only is the Airlander 10 larger than the Airbus A380, which currently stands as the world's largest civilian aircraft, it is also cheaper.
The catalogue price of the Airlander 10 is £25 million (S$44.1 million), which is approximately £262 million cheaper than the A380, which is priced at £287 million.
Here is a quick run-down on the blimp cum airplane hybrid aircraft.

In his last ever run at the Olympics, Bolt, anchoring the relay, took the baton less than 1m ahead of rivals America and Japan, but blew away the field to see Jamaica cross the line with a time of 37.27 seconds — the second fastest time ever run.
Jamaica were strong from the starter’s pistol with Asafa Powell appearing to have them in front at the first hand-over.
Yohan Blake and Nickel Ashmeade then took over to have Jamaica neck-and-neck with Japan before Bolt stepped up and created yet another piece of history.
“It really is the end of the most beautiful story in Olympic history,” Channel 7s Bruce McAvaney said.
