It's a bird, it's a plane, oh nope, hold on... it's that aircraft that looks like a butt.。
Airlander 10, the world's largest aircraft -- appropriately nicknamed the "Flying Bum" for its resemblance to a rear end -- is back in action following a crash that took place in August 2016. 。

Now, the "Flying Bum" is back and bulbous as ever. 。
Ultimately, the company sees it as an eco-friendly way to take surveys from the air, as well as transport passengers and cargo. The 302-foot-long craft is designed to stay airborne for up to five days in a row. 。
After a comprehensive investigation of the faulty landing, which revealed the causes of the crash, Hybrid Air Vehicles CEO Stephen McGlennan said, "We’re delighted to have made the progress we have in our repairs and look forward to restarting our test flight programme soon."。
Though a specific date for Airlander's next flight has not yet been announced, at least we have something to look forward to. 。
