A voluptuous aircraft dubbed \u201cThe Flying Bum\u201d has joined the fleet of Grands Espaces, a French eco-tourism company.<\/p>\n

Officially called the Airlander 10, the climate-conscious craft brings the Zeppelin era into the future. Built by the UK\u2019s Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV), the blimp used helium and electricity to stay aloft.<\/p>\n

In development since 2007, the Airlander 10 promises lower emissions, fuel burn, noise, and operating costs. HAV bills the vehicle as \u201cthe future of zero-carbon aviation.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a flexible payload space, the aircraft can be configured for various applications, from dining rooms in the sky to surveillance<\/a> centres. Or, indeed, experiential travel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Grands Espaces plans to deploy the Airlander 10 for journeys to hard-to-reach and undiscovered places<\/p>\n

Founded by polar explorer\u00a0Christian Kempf, the company envisions low-impact flights to spectacular sites \u2014 including the Arctic.<\/p>\n

With the aircraft capable of taking off and landing from any reasonably flat surface \u2014 including water and ice \u2014 tourists could travel to typically unreachable destinations. Grands Espaces aims to offer customers the flights from 2028.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For HAV, the partnership adds another client to a slowly expanding roster. The company recently revealed that it\u2019s also working with BAE Systems \u2014 Britain\u2019s biggest defence company \u2014 to deploy the aircraft in defence and security operations.<\/p>\n

If all goes to plan, that bulbous rear will soon become a fixture in our skies.<\/p>\n
