I was fortunate enough to speak to the CEO of Hybrid Air Vehicles, Tom Grundy.

In this discussion we talk about:
- What makes Hybrid airships different from Hydrogen airships?
- How Hybrid Air Vehicles started?
- The Highs and Lows of building the Airlander 10.
- What use cases the Airlander is built for?
- The path to production
