AIRLANDER 10 takes flight. World's largest aircraft finally takes to the skies for a successful maiden voyage .

Check out the link: many pictures, plus a short video of the 302 foot long 'aircraft' taking off on its maiden flight.

The Airlander 10 is -- for all practical purposes -- a spinoff of a concept airship for a much larger vehicle I worked on as a staff engineer at Lockheed Martin in the early 2000's.
