The longest aircraft Airlander 10 collapsed yesterday during landing after a test flight, reports Ридус message "BBC".

Airlander 10 Super Airship Fall (video)




As a result of the fall, the nose of the apparatus, where the cockpit is located, was seriously injured, but there were no casualties. According to the developers, "all crew members are alive and well."

The company also clarified that the flight itself was normal, problems arose during the approach. In addition, the company’s representative resolutely refuted the words of an eyewitness who claimed that the problems with the vessel had arisen after it had hurt a telegraph pole.

It was the second test flight of the airship.



“Initially, the Airlander 10 was developed by order of the US government. The project was opened in 2009 year. It was planned that the vessel will perform observational functions. However, the project was frozen amid cuts in the defense budget of the United States, and in 2013, the British company Hybrid Air Vehicles, which led all the development from the very beginning, bought out its project, ”the agency said.

According to the BBC, Airlander 10 is a hybrid aircraft that combines the three principles of aeronautics: a balloon, a helicopter, and a fixed-wing aircraft. The length of the flying hybrid is 92 meters. It can fly at an altitude of 4,9 kilometers at speeds up to 148 kilometers per hour and carry up to 10 tons of cargo. "

According to the developers, “in a manned flight mode, a ship can stay in the air for five days and three days - remotely controlled”. The cost of the hybrid is about £ 25 million (more than 2-x billion rubles).

For the corresponding form Airlander 10 got the nickname "Big Ass".



The company began work on returning the device to the sky last year. According to the developers, “the hybrid can perform the functions of observation, communication, provide assistance, and even carry passengers.” They promised to “bring to mind” the device to 2021.

However, most experts will not share the mindset of developers, and consider the project unpromising.

The head of Infomost, Boris Rybak: “Any balloon — be it a spherical balloon or a cucumber-like airship — has a common Achilles heel: extremely low controllability in flight and a small speed compared to aircraft. These two minuses bring to nothing the only advantage of the devices lighter than air - their higher payload compared to aircraft. "

    Well, if we take the nickname given to this aircraft as the basis, it is possible that this project may end up in exactly that place. Interest in airships has recently arisen as a result of the low cost of transporting possible goods. Military use, even with the simplest air defense means, is ineffective.

        Americans periodically have problems with these airships - they have a pensioner land in a gyroplane in front of the Capitol (the airship hung there and did not notice anything), the balloon tears off the leash and it flies throughout the state of Pennsylvania entertaining the local population.

    You're right. Speed ​​is not always needed.
    To drive up at night, slowly, a multi-ton section of the bridge
    to the place of installation.
    Much easier on such a low-speed boat through the air than any other
    way. And the installation itself: no super taps are needed.
    I think the builders of Airlander will be in demand.

        Until 1965, US PLO and AWACS were on airships, then they quickly covered them when they lost their monopoly on helium so that others would not be envious.

        And as for the picture, why do not they take into account that they did this on purpose? The British always had this with airships. Germans used to build in the USA, now one has arrived from Russia, by the way their airship is bigger and looks decent.

    It seems to me that the airships will still win their place in some kind of aeronautics niche ... However, not from the point of view of purely military use ... Although in peacetime they can also be used in the armed forces ...

    Yes, these airships manned since the days of Zeppelin are crap. In the 1930s, however, flew like cruise air liners for the "bohat". But then there were terrible disasters. Then more or less capacious passenger aircraft appeared. And now such an airy ass is threatened by many more enemies than 100 years ago. Drones, cell towers, crowds of hungry crows in metropolitan areas, air defense systems, whatever.

    The longest Airlander 10 aircraft crashed yesterday during a landing after a test flight, reports Reedus the BBC message.

    The cause of the accident was the unauthorized movement of the pilot, who was on the regular schedule at the rear of the airship, to the forward control cabin. According to the explanations of the latter, he did not hear the first pilot's phrase "Sit still !!! Su ... ah !!! Bl .... b !!!!", interpreting it as "Run quickly here, it is very interesting!"

    As practice has shown, "iron" flies higher, faster and less and less dependent on weather conditions. The whole practice of mastering airships is failing (from the 18th century to the present day). The weakest point of airships,
    high aerodynamic drag, which is completely dependent on
    wind regime in the atmosphere. Therefore, for two centuries they have not been able to compete with the "iron" aviation. A lot of money has been spent, but there are no results, and does not wake up. Mass use of airships is a utopia.

    Yeah, there is something to catch up with, why do we need normal aviation, is it better to sit and wait until the breeze in the direction where you blow? we need to work on improving the current iron birds and fundamentally new devices, and not on the fact that we have already forgotten 100 years ago, so we come to this -

      Almost always, with a change in altitude, you can catch a passing air stream, the speed of which can be added to the cruising one, which is on average 150 km / h, floating even above the sea is at least two times cheaper than swimming through water, as it is eight hundred times denser than air , plus wave effects at the interface between two media.

    If anyone was really involved in the installation of structures, he will understand that this thing will not help in any way - the wind easily displaces it from the point - and besides "raise and lower" during installation, you also need to "position" and "precisely move".

      There were many, even civilians. Hindenburg was blown up by an anti-fascist in order to make hydrogen airships very dangerous, then in the USA with their monopoly on helium there were mass helium ones. It was not delivered to other countries, so other countries, with rare exceptions, did not have airships. Airships are such an unnecessary thing that according to the Versailles world of 1919 their Germany was forbidden to build, along with submarines. The German hydrogen Count of Zepellin-2 of the same type of Hindenburg flew for many years without a single incident. Also Graf Zeppellin-1 and this is only from the well-known, and non-American.
