The Airlander 10 hybrid airship is seen after it recently left the hangar for the first time to commence ground systems tests before its maiden flight, at Cardington Airfield in Britain August 9, 2016. The makers of the world's biggest aircraft postponed its maiden flight at the last minute on Sunday. The 92-meter-long Airlander 10 was due to take off from an airfield 73 kilometers north of London on the first in a series of test flights. Stephen McGlennan, chief executive of Hybrid Air Vehicles, said the airship had "a slight technical issue" and there's not time to fix it before darkness fell. (Photo/Agencies)
