The world's largest aircraft, The Airlander 10, took it's second test flight at Cardington Airfield in Bedfordshire yesterday and crashed at a painfully slow speed.

The massive blimp, which is 302 feet long and weighs 44,100 pounds, took 30 seconds to crash onto the runway as it made it's return to the hanger, leaving bystanders wondering if it was actually going in slow motion.

However while it may have appeared to be a pretty gentle crash, it's been reported that the nose and cockpit of the aircraft hit the ground during the heavy landing, causing a significant amount of damage.

The Airlander 10, which is also known a 'the flying bum' due to it's unconventional shape, was in the air for two hours before returning back to base and it's been confirmed that no-one was injured in the crash.

Hybrid Air Vehicles took to Facebook to release a statement on the landing.

"We're debriefing following the second test flight this morning," the statement read.

"All crew are safe and well and there are no injuries."

Heralded as an aeroplane and helicopter hybrid invention, the Airlander 10 doesn’t look like any ‘plane’ you have seen before.

The Airlander 10, which has the official name of Martha Gwyn, is able to fly much lower and slower than traditional planes we see in the skies.

As a passenger aircraft it could possibly transport up to 48 people in complete comfort, with passengers able to roam around freely its cabins, looking out of floor-to-ceiling windows.

Originally developed for military use by the U.S. Army, construction on the craft took three years after it was abandoned by the Pentagon in 2012 and was taken over by Hybrid Air Vehicles.

Chris Daniels, head of partnerships at HAV, told The Independent that they “are aiming at going all electric at some point…. Given we have lots of space and lifting capability for batteries, we are likely to be the first aircraft with viable electric engines on board."

Last March, the aricraft made it's first test landing successfully, after a 15-minute flight during which it travelled at 35 knots.
