Hybrid Air Vehicles

Hybrid Air Vehicles Limited, known as HAV, is an aircraft developer based in Bedford, United Kingdom. Its main product is the Airlander, a hybrid aircraft. The company says it is pioneering zero-emission aircraft for a better connected future.

The Airlander 10 is described as flexible, with capability for more than 100 passengers, ten tonnes of cargo, or five days of flight endurance. The site says the aircraft needs minimal infrastructure and can operate away from roads and runways. It says the design blends aeroplane and airship technologies.

The site lists four main uses: tourism, regional air mobility, defence and security, and the Airlander Freighter for logistics. It also names an Airlander Futures Network. The company claims up to 90 percent fewer emissions than alternative aircraft.

News items on the site show progress over several years. HAV began the Airlander 10 Type Certification programme in February 2024. A visit by the Civil Aviation Authority in February 2025 marked a key milestone. A first military aircraft reservation was announced in October 2025.

In 2026, the site reports that HAV agreed to form a joint venture with WepTac A.G. to deliver surveillance aircraft to the US military. The company also entered the US market in July 2025, and it has agreed terms on a flagship production site.

Contact details include a Bedford address and the phone number +44 (0)1234 336400. Separate contacts are listed for STEM and outreach, media, investment and careers. The site also has a newsletter sign up and an investors page.

The site lists a technology page, FAQs and a certification page. It also names an advisors page and a partners page, and it has an investors section for people who want to invest in the company.
