PHOTOS: World Longest Aircraft Unvieled in Britain

 I'm just imagining the sight of this Aircraft, AIRLANDER, part airship, part helicopter and part plane, unveiled in Britain recently. With a length of 302ft (92m) the new airship is about 60ft longer than the biggest airliners, the Airbus A380 and Boeing 747-8.

It is also almost 30ft longer than the massive cargo-carrying Antonov An-225, which until now was the longest aircraft ever built. 

According to BBC, it costs about $100m (£60m) and the designers are planning an even bigger version that will eventually be able to carry 50 tonnes at a time.

Huge is just the word. see more photos after the cut.....
