Dynalifter Floats Like a Butterfly, Lands Like a Plane
An aircraft that combines massive freight capacity, high efficiency and low cost is taking shape in a hangar outside Toledo, Ohio, and could be airborne next year. Dynalifter is part airship, part airplane and the spiritual and engineering successor to Howard Hughes’ never-built Megalifter . It combines the light weight and huge payload of an airship with the stability and handling of an airplane.

Test flights through Iceland volcan...The massive volcanic ash cloud that's brought European air travel to a virtual standstill, has stranded an estimated 32000 people hoping to travel to or from Russia. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has ordered emergency measures to deal with the unprecedented crisis. The Dutch airline KLM and Germany's Lufthansa have carried out test flights through the ash cloud. They reported no damage to their aircraft, however air space in around 20 countries remains closed, affecting millions of people's travel plans.

The volcano in the south of Iceland began erupting on Wednesday, sending plumes of ash several kilometres into the air.
