It looks like the airship will be coming back into fashion after the UK government invested £3.4m (€4.6m, $5.2m) into the Airlander 10, the world's largest aircraft in the world.

The Airlander 10 is a gigantic 300ft-long airship made of Kevlar, mylar and carbon fibre. It can carry about 20,000 pounds (9,072kg) of cargo for up to five days at a time without needed to land, or smaller cargos for almost three weeks

It is hoped that Airlander 10 will be in the air by 2016, and according to US tech-focused website the Verge, the project would create an additional 1,800 jobs in the UK.
