Our very first integration bench has begun!

Our very first integration bench has begun!

The “Iron Whale” allows us to test most of the airship’s low-voltage electrical equipment. During these tests, we check that our equipment works correctly in isolation and then together. They are connected to each other, just as they will be inside the airship.

The test bays are used to power up and simulate equipment, or to stimulate other equipment by injecting mission profiles to simulate a complete flight or load exchange, for example, as well as various failure cases to validate the robustness of our solution.

During these tests, we deal with various subjects such as safety, reception and storage, and cabling activities.

Our main aim is to make sure that our systems work together, and that when the time comes to integrate them on the airship, there won’t be any problems!
