Revealed:how the amazing, luxurious interior of the world's longest aircraft will look.

An incredible set of images has revealed how the future of air travel could look like as designers showcase plans for the world’s longest aircraft.

Passengers will be able to enjoy en-suite bedrooms, fine dining and seating areas boasting "horizon-to-horizon views" on the part-plane, part-airship Airlander 10.

The £25 million aircraft will offer luxury travel for up to 18 guests and crew members who, according to the developers, will enjoy "luxury expeditions" to locations that cannot be reached by existing transport.

It will be able to take off and land on "virtually any flat surface" without the need for traditional infrastructure such as ports or airports, according to the company.

The aircraft was owned by the US army until 2016 and now belongs to Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV), based in Bedfordshire.

It is 302ft long, 143ft wide and 85ft tall, with a cabin that is larger than most single-aisle aircraft.

HAV chief executive Stephen McGlennan said: "Airlander challenges people to rethink the skies and that is the driving force behind everything we do.

“Air travel has become very much about getting from A to B as quickly as possible. What we're offering is a way of making the journey a joy."

Designers believe the plans are practical and ready to go into production.

HAV believes it could be used for a variety of functions in addition to leisure trips, such as surveillance, communications, delivering aid and search and rescue missions.

In August 2016 its cockpit was severely damaged when the aircraft nose-dived and crashed during a test flight.

The aircraft then collapsed in November last year after coming loose from its moorings.

Both incidents happened at its former base at Cardington Airfield, Bedfordshire.
