FLYING WHALES is partnering with Evolito for the electric propulsion of the LCA60T airship
As part of the development of the LCA60T, our large-capacity cargo airship, FLYING WHALES is proud to announce its partnership with Evolito.
A specialist in electric propulsion solutions for the aerospace industry, Evolito is supplying its innovative D250 motor — offering the best power density in its class — along with the production capacity to scale up and meet our deployment timeline.
Each airship will be powered by a total of 32 D250 motors.
Through this synergy, FLYING WHALES and Evolito Ltd are taking a major step forward in the deployment of cargo transport solutions with an ultra-low environmental footprint.
“When designing an airship, weight is critical. In the three years we have been working together, Evolito has demonstrated the ability to deliver best in class power density from its unique axial flux electric motors along with the ability to ramp production to meet our forecast requirements. There is an excellent synergy between our teams – we share the same passion for enabling electric flight through engineering excellence and innovation – and I look forward to working with Evolito towards the first LCA60T flight and beyond into production and commercial operation.”
