Performance tests carried out on the LCA60T structure junction

Thanks to the test bench developed by Amvalor, the R&D unit of Arts et Métiers, several performance tests have been carried out on the very first main junction of the FLYING WHALES airship.

🔗 These junctions, made from an assembly of aluminum components, are used to connect the beams that form the rigid structure of the LCA60T.

The PSPC LCA60T project is funded by the State and managed by Bpifrance as part of the “Programme d’investissements d’avenir”.

Take a behind-the-scenes look at these tests, conducted at the IRT Angers laboratory of Arts et Métiers. 👇
