The inside of the Airlander 10, the world’s largest aircraft, has been revealed

The days of legs being crushed against the back of the seat in front you on an airplane will soon be over as recent images of what will be the world’s largest aircraft, the Airlander 10 have been setting the internet ablaze. 

The planes manufacturer, Hybrid Air Vehicles, revealed concept images which show wide open cabins and floor to ceiling windows which give us much more to look at than the usual tiny oval windows we’re accustomed to.

The airship is a whopping 299 feet (91 metres) long and 122 feet (34 metres) wide and is able to carry around 100 passengers.

Expected to take flight in 2025, The Airlander 10 will travel to popular destinations while using 90 percent lower emissions, making it the most environmentally friendly aircraft.

Instead of relying on powerful engines to drive the plane forward, this airship will use a giant helium balloon to take off which is far less harmful to the environment.

Once airborne, four all-electric propellers will provide the forward motion. Previously two would be powered by kerosene fueled engines with the remaining two powered by electricity.

In the next five years, the Airlander 10 is expected to become fully electric.

“The number one benefit is reducing your carbon footprint on a journey by a factor of 10” . “But also, while you’re going to be in the air a little bit longer than you would if you were on an airplane, the quality of the journey will be so much better,”  Mike Durham Chief Technical Officer for Hybrid Air Vehicles told Life Science.

It’s estimated that a flight from Seattle to Vancouver takes three hours (factoring check-in time etc.) on a normal plane and 4 hours on the Airlander 10.

If you ask us, we’re fine spending just an hour in the air if we’re going to have all that room and amazing views out of those large windows. Especially on long flights from the UAE to America.
