Origami Test

Since early April, our Industrialization teams, supported by the Test team, leads innovative test in Sadirac, near Bordeaux.

Named “Origami Test”, they aim to explore and validate:

– the processes of folding / unfolding, integration and filling of our helium cells
– the processes of maintenance and the reinstallation concepts
– the processes of helium management both in installation and maintenance phases.

To that end, the teams, supported by our partner HEMERIA, have worked hard during ten days to assemble a representative miniature version (scale 1:5) of a section of our airship.

The first feedbacks of the test are very positive! Supported by HEMERIA, the teams have been able to emphasize the feasibiity of our installation process, from folding to filling of the cell.
