The UK government wants to get this massive airship back in the air

The Airlander 10 is the largest aircraft in the world, originally designed in 2010 to be used for surveillance and reconnaissance by the US Army. Now, a new £3.4 million grant from the UK government could help it off the ground next year, according to HAV. The UK government's investment in the Airlander appears to less about military surveillance and more about the airship's practicality. Beyond the investment, the government's innovation agency (Innovate UK) has also helped HAV start a full engine test program.
