About us
FLYING WHALES is an extraordinary industrial adventure.
We are designing today and we will build and operate tomorrow a fleet of airships, the LCA60T, intended for freight transport. Capable of loading and unloading up to 60 tonnes of freight (wood, wind turbine blades, containers, mobile hospitals, etc.) in hover, with a reduced environmental footprint, this transport system is unique.
At FLYING WHALES, we have a bold vision that brings together more than 180 pioneers and around forty partner companies. These pioneers of the 21st century, men and women, bring their desire, their passion and their know-how every day to create a new transport solution, but also an idea. The idea that companies must be able to continue creating connections in order to grow.
This is the mission that FLYING WHALES has set itself: to open up isolated regions of the world while helping to reduce CO2 emissions in the transport sector thanks to a low-carbon aircraft.
Would you like to help us write one of the pages of aeronautics history? Here is the pioneer we are looking for:
