Hybrid Air Vehicles has announced a concept study to explore the use case for introducing its Airlander 10 aircraft for passenger and freight transport across the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
The study is supported by a consortium of organisations, including Highlands and Islands Airports, Highlands and Islands Transport Partnership, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, Orkney Island Council and Loganair.
It is expected that the study - which should take three months to complete - will seek to understand how the part-plane-part-airship could support sustainable mobility in the region.
