TIL about #FlyingWhales #blimps

"Flying Whale's air freighter, the LCA60T, could be the largest aircraft in the world, spanning 200-metres in length — almost the equivalent of three A-380 Airbuses.

The airship will load from hovering, from stationary flight, which creates flexibility. Long-term goal is to establish 46 bases across the Asia-Pacific region and 160 bases globally.

Mount Isa City Council has signed an agreement to host the first base in Australia."

Or are the best days of #Airship technology still ahead of us?

The French Government, and Quebec, see them as an innovative way of extracting wood from otherwise unaccessible forests, or using them to install larger and more efficient wind turbines, which can be hard to install in some places due to their size. #FlyingWhales is due to start testing its new airships by the end of the year.

C'est tout simplement scandaleux.
"Les employés de l'état doivent garder un devoir de réserve"

Où était le devoir de réserve de monsieur Fitzgibbon quand il s'agissait d'investir dans des compagnies dans lesquelles il y avait des intérêts financiers? #flyingWhales #polqc #pq #caq #fitzgibbon #corruption

C'est aussi une attaque frontale contre la démocratie.

#Day44 – The Experience
My favorite live performance

That's an easy pick for me. I was at Rock in Vienna in 2015. Up next was #Gojira, a band I only knew the name of.

Then they started playing.
They blew me away.
I became an instant fan!

Here's Gojira with #FlyingWhales:
