Airlander company feels honoured and delighted to gain these validations from government and industry
experts that we’re innovating. We don’t actively chase these awards; in fact in three of the four awards we’ve recently
received, we discovered we’d won when we took the call! The awards endorse our technology, product and great
workforce, past and present. With just 40 employees, we have taken on the world and created a ground-breaking
aircraft that is one of the largest and greenest in the world – all this, years ahead of well-known competition. Our recent
award successes reflect this remarkable achievement, won through dogged entrepreneurial determination and private
investment over the last 40 years.
