City of Doncaster Council has announced that it has agreed on a location for the production of a new multi-function helium filled airship, titled the Airlander 10.
The council has announced that the production facility will be located at Carcroft Common, with Hybrid Air Vehicles – the company behind the plan to build Airlander 10 – set to acquire the 50-hectare site to create its new centre for production, testing and certification operations. Hybrid Air Vehicles said the plans will create over £1bn in export and more than 1,200 green jobs.
Subject to planning approval, Hybrid Air Vehicles will develop new flagship facilities capable of producing up to 24 aircraft per year at the site. The site will house “cutting-edge” aerospace production equipment, such as new assembly lines for Airlander’s composite-based airframe, propulsion systems, and electrical and avionics systems.
