Airlander 10,Longest aircraft ook a nosedive during its second test flight Wednesday Aug 24,2016

The world's longest aircraft - the Airlander 10 - has been damaged when it took a nosedive during its second test flight.

The 302ft (92m) long aircraft - which is part plane and part airship - was damaged during the flight from Cardington Airfield in Bedfordshire.

The £25m craft is understood to have sustained damage to its cockpit when it hit the ground at about 11:00 BST.

HAV, the developer, said all the crew were "safe and well".

A spokesman said: "The flight went really well and the only issue was when it landed."

The company has denied claims from a witness that a line hanging down from the vehicle hit a telegraph pole about two fields away from its landing.

It said a debrief was being carried out and a further update would be provided after that.

The aircraft had its first test flight from the airfield on August 17,2016
