Airlander Test Flight Imminent.

Airlander has emerged from it's hanger and is preparing for more test flights to come in the next few days. During the repair process the engineers installed extra balloon cushions to insure that when the Airlander comes in for a landing that it will have a much larger allowable angle of decent when approaching the ground.

These cushions are certainly an odd looking solution, but they are functional which is all that really matters at the end of the day. No doubt that when HAV develops the actual production prototype they will come up with a more elegant looking solution.

Whatever the case, lets all wish the Airlander 10 the best of luck and that it will have many hundreds of accident free flight hours ahead of it.
