The Hybrid Air Vehicles Airlander 10 is a hybrid airship designed and built by British manufacturer Hybrid Air Vehicles. Originally developed as the HAV 304 for the United States Army's Long Endurance Multi-intelligence Vehicle programme, it combines helium buoyancy with aerodynamic lift from wing and tail surfaces. Reacquired by HAV after the Army cancelled the project, it was modified for civilian use at Cardington Airfield. The aircraft was written off in 2017 after breaking free of its moorings in high wind.
