The Airlander 10 - a hybrid aircraft vehicle with multiple uses - was first announced by its maker Hybrid Air Vehicles as the world's longest aircraft, and its recent update on January 23 has made it even longer.

The new production design changes in the announcement that included its new length - increased by 5% - shows improvements in multiple areas of the aircraft, including an increase in its efficiency and functionality, according to its maker.

The company is also currently working on creating electric propulsion capabilities with Collins Aerospace and the University of Nottingham with the hopes that future iterations of Airlander 10, which is projected to be hybrid-electric, will emit 90% fewer emissions.

Airlander 10's maker claims it has "minimal" infrastructure needs and is relatively quiet. It has a 10-ton maximum payload and can be in the air for five days with a maximum range of 4,000 nautical miles, about 4,603 miles. It can also soar to 20,000 feet maximum.

However, the payload, flight duration, and range numbers all change per aircraft built depending on the intention of its use.

Airlander 10 has multiple potential applications: defense and security, logistics, luxury travel, maritime and coast guards, and transportation for private clients, according to its maker, and these uses can all be achieved with different interiors and accessories. For example, there are facilities for crew members if the Airlander 10 is being used for maritime and coastguard purposes, and its maker claims it can be used for defense and security because it has on-board sensors that can be used to gather data.

The initial idea for The Flying Bum was announced several years ago, but the new production version was just revealed on January 11.
