FLYING WHALES is a start-up founded by Sébastien Bougon in September 2012, with the aim of building and operating rigid-structure airships. Future cargo airships are intended for transporting heavy or indivisible loads.
Originally, the company was created to enable French the Forest National Office, to expand its area of forest exploitation, particularly those that are difficult to access or far from any infrastructure.
To carry out this aeronautical project, FLYING WHALES has built a consortium of around thirty companies, which includes Industrial Groups, medium-size and small-size companies and research centers.
