Overview

About us

FLYING WHALES is an extraordinary industrial adventure.

We design today and we will build and operate tomorrow a fleet of airships, the LCA60T, intended for cargo transport. Capable of loading and unloading up to 60 tons of cargo (wood, wind turbine blades, containers, mobile hospitals, etc.) in hovering flight, with a reduced environmental footprint, this transport system is unprecedented. 

At FLYING WHALES, we have a bold vision that brings together more than 180 pioneers and about 40 partner companies. These pioneers of the 21st century, men and women, bring their desire, their passion and their know-how every day to give birth to a new transportation solution, but also to an idea. The idea that societies must be able to continue to create links in order to develop. 

This is the mission that FLYING WHALES has set itself: to open up isolated regions in the world while helping to reduce CO2 emissions in the transport sector thanks to a low-carbon airship.

Overall Definition Team is in charge of the overall definition of LCA60T airship solution, including all the needed systems for its operations.

We have developed in-house tools to solve technical problems necessary for the development of airship LCA60T. The internship aims to improve and develop new features of different tools used for:

  • Studying the weather flight conditions for the airship missions.

  • Performing airship technical study such as weight and balance analysis.

These new features should be tested and applied on specific use cases while taking into account the users’ experiences.

You will work in interface with the different engineering domains of the Technical Directorate.
