Eco-friendly electric airships are set to take flight... |
French aeronautics company Flying Whales is hoping to change the state of sustainable transport, with a fleet of electric airships set to take flight in the next few years. With low carbon emissions and no requirement for expensive ground infrastructure – since they can load and unload cargo while hovering – airships could be a sustainable solution for logistics across the globe. |
Flying Whales claims its airships will produce less than 10% of the carbon emissions of helicopters – plus their freight system leaves wilderness and countryside untouched, while still connecting small, rural communities to the wider global supply chain. Will the concept take off? Watch this space! |
