As a result, it creates induced thrust at the wingtips rather than induced drag. Lesser weight only contributes to better performance, like increased payload capacity and improved fuel efficiency. The Concorde, though civilian, showcased a delta-wing tailless layout in a supersonic airliner.

Eventually, though, the 10-ton payload model could be the smallest in the Airlander family. Simultaneously, the firm is developing the even larger Airlander 50—and potentially, an Airlander 200 with a 200-ton payload. The design also boasts a 4,000 nm ferry range, dropping to 2,000 nm at full payload.
