INTERNSHIP - AIRWORTHINESS ENGINEER

FLYING WHALES is an extraordinary industrial adventure.

We are developing an air transport solution to support the economic development of landlocked regions and significantly reduce the environmental footprint of cargo transport.

FLYING WHALES has formed a consortium to design, build on three continents and operate worldwide a fleet of LCA60T airships capable of loading and unloading up to 60 tons of cargo (wood, wind turbine blades, containers, mobile hospital, etc.) in hover flight, with a particularly low environmental footprint. This transport system is unique in the world. FLYING WHALES is also developing FLYING WHALES SERVICES, the operating company for this fleet, which will combine the skills of an airline and an airport company.

At FLYING WHALES, we have a highly ambitious vision that today brings together over 200 pioneers, a powerful international shareholder base and some 50 partner companies. Pioneers of the 21st century, men and women who contribute their desire, passion and know-how every day to give birth to a new transport solution, but also to an idea. The idea that companies must be able to continue creating links in order to grow.

This is FLYING WHALES’ mission: to open up isolated regions of the world, while helping to reduce CO2 emissions and transport infrastructure.
