The world’s longest aircraft, the Airlander 10 airship, crash landed during a test flight in Bedfordshire in central England, the Press Association reported on Wednesday.
The BBC reported the airship, which undertook its first flight last week, had hit a telegraph pole.
Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV), the manufacturer of the helium-filled airship, said none were injured during the second test flight.
“All crew are safe and well and there are no injuries,” it said on Twitter, without giving details of the incident.
On 18 August, hundreds of Londoners saw a blimp-shaped, helium-filled airship considered the world’s largest aircraft, fly for the first time with a short, but historic jaunt over Cardington airfield, 45 miles (73 kilometers) north of London.
The Airlander 10 is part plane, part airship and part helicopter and has been nicknamed the “flying bum” because of its bulbous front end. It is 92 metre long - around 15 metres longer than the biggest passenger jets.
HAV have designed the craft to stay airborne for up to three weeks using helium, and the vessel is able to travel at a speed of 92mph.
