The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Theo Leggett goes to see the world's largest aircraft, the Airlander, at its current home in a hangar in Bedfordshire in southern England. The Airlander, which has cost some $40 million to build, is more than ninety metres in length and is filled with helium. The aircraft - part plane, part helicopter - is about to start being ground tested before its test flights begin later this year.
