The £25 million Airlander 10 is seen out of it's hangar at Cardington this week for the first time since it's crash in August 2016. It has undergone extensive refurbishment and repairs. The cockpit was destroyed during the crash which saw the Airlander nosedive into a field close to landing. The new-look airship includes two huge inflatable "airbags" which are stowed during the flight and protect the cock pit on landing. The massive inflatable "landing feet" are officially called an auxiliary landing system, according to Hybrid Air Vehicles. At 92-metre long, the Airlander 10 is the longest aircraft in the world.
