The LCA60T
A revolutionary transport solution with a capacity of 60 tons: the LCA60T loads and unloads dozens of tons in hover, independent from transport infrastructure.
Flexible :
- Point to point load delivery
- Load/unload in stationary flight
- Loads in cargo hold (80 m x 8 m x 5 m) or under slings.
Eco-friendly :
- Low consumption
- Low emissions
- No transport infrastructure needed
Low cost:
- Solution available per day/per operation (no investment)
- Low operational costs
- Avoids transshipments
- No need to adapt the load to the transportation means
- No need for “last mile” infrastructure
