LCA60T envelope test campaign launched

FLYING WHALES and High Point Structures recently conducted a series of tests on the envelope of the LCA60T, a critical component of the aircraft’s fuselage.

This textile structure serves a dual essential purpose: it transmits aerodynamic loads to the frame while protecting the airship’s interior from external conditions. 💨

The envelope is made of an innovative fabric specifically designed by our partner DIATEX SAS and transformed into panels tailored to the structure thanks to Highpoint’s expertise. 🔧

📽️ Check out behind-the-scenes footage of these tests in our video filmed at the Saint-Cyr wind tunnel. 👇
