Damn ! FLYING WHALES & TOTAL EP secret baby whale revealed at 2017 #ParisAirShow #PAS17 #ParisAirLab
Who we are
FLYING WHALES is a French young fast growing company dedicated to
LCA60T aerospace program
LCA60T program is a project earmarked by the French Government - part of the Solution “Transports de demain” from the “Nouvelle France Industrielle”
FLYING WHALES is co-owned and strongly supported by AVIC GENERAL
ONF - French National Forest Agency - Partner since the very first day, major contributor to the vision, and key player for the LCA60T solution
What we do
Innovation
new Multilayer envelope technology developed on purpose, multifunctional materials, hybrid distributedelectrical propulsion, composite structure, payload management...
Simplicity
simplicity makes it work! KISS
excellence
because aerospace industry can only afford excellence. Mandatory!
team work
5 years of engineering on tracks a program endorsed by a large premium aerospace consortium (more than 30 Cies labs)
Creativity
that’s what we do here folks!
Audacity
amazing operational capacities: 60 tons capacity, in cargo hold or under slings, airborne loading/unloading, vertical take-off and landing...
Customer centric
LCA60T design is completed regarding our customer operational requirements (and by the way : thanks so much ONF for your amazing contribution to the consortium!)
Safety
a safe product 1 LCA60T ⇔ 1 base, rigid structure, unpressured helium cells, multi -actually a lot- propellers to address the 6 degrees of freedom, 4 years of flight dynamic engineering & millions of hours of CFD
Humility
because it is aerospace, because LCA60T is so big, because there is still so much to learn about, because we all know about weather forecast, because most of us are engineers...
Aerospace quality
design carried out following the highest standards of quality process & system engineering
design to Cost
low cost solution mandatory to address our markets!
Civil certification focus
our obsession: DOA, POA, Type Certification... all is just mandatory, period!
Very low Ecological footprint
yes it has indeed, climate friendly, no roads, no rails, very low emissions...
Safe lifting gas
helium obviously
Manned
crew = 3
Hybrid electric distributed propulsion
great engineering step forward, but our partners for this development are worldwide N°1. Seriously!
Multipropellers & optimized shape
because safety and precise maneuverability is challenge N°1
Load exchange in flight
amazing, isn’t it? yep, we’ll do that!
Large cargo hold & under-sling capacity
customer requirement for maximum flexibility whatever the size: we take it
Rigid structure
what else... - Hi George :)
just do it... Join us!
