World's longest aircraft leaves hangar for first time

The Airlander 10, the world's largest aircraft, has left its hangar for the first time.

Part airship and part plane, the Airlander is a massive 302ft (92m) long. That's about the same length as a football pitch and longer than the biggest passenger planes.

Can you imagine going on holiday on one of these?!

It could be used to deliver heavy equipment to remote areas - or supplies to disaster zones.

Check out the video to get a look at the colossal craft and find out a little bit more.
