FLYING WHALES

About FLYING WHALES

FLYING WHALES is a Franco-Canadian aerospace company developing, manufacturing and operating the LCA60T, a new generation of heavy-lift cargo airships capable of transporting up to 60 tons and loading or unloading cargo in stationary flight, without landing.

This unique dual-use technology enables point-to-point transportation of heavy and oversized cargo without the need for extensive ground infrastructure, dramatically reducing logistics costs, delivery times and environmental impact. Addressing a €14.5 billion market opportunity, FLYING WHALES targets critical applications across energy, power transmission, industrial infrastructure, construction, defence logistics, remote-area connectivity and disaster relief.

FLYING WHALES operates a vertically integrated business model, combining aircraft manufacturing (Airbus model) with airline operations and associated infrastructure (Air France / ADP model). This enables the company to capture value across the aviation value chain while providing customers with turnkey heavy-lift transport services.

Backed by leading public and private shareholders and over 400m€ financing secured, a 50-company-strong international aeronautical consortium, FLYING WHALES is advancing towards industrialization and global commercial deployment, with India expected to join alongside France and Canada as a third industrial pillar.

With about 100 pre-commercial agreements signed with leading industrial customers and an estimated €700 million in annual revenue potential from its top 10 prospective customers alone, FLYING WHALES is positioned to establish a new global market for low-cost, low-carbon heavy-lift air transport.

FLYING WHALES is a French Tech Next40 company and has obtained the European Commission's STEP Seal, the mark of excellence for high-quality projects contributing to Europe’s strategic technologies. The company has been selected by the Commission as part of the 2025 Innovation Fund Net Zero Transition projects.
