The world's longest aircraft - the Airlander 10 - has been damaged after nosediving on landing during its second test flight. The 302ft (92m) long aircraft - which is part plane and part airship - was damaged during the flight from Cardington Airfield in Bedfordshire. The £25m craft sustained damage to its cockpit when it hit the ground at about 11:00 BST. HAV, the developer, said all the crew were "safe and well". A spokesman said: "The flight went really well and the only issue was when it landed."
