French company 'Flying Whales' is developing a large capacity airship that can pick up and drop up to 66,000 kilograms of payload mid-flight. The LCA60T airship, powered by helium, is a vertical takeoff and landing vehicle (VTOL) and won't require any extra infrastructure during take-offs and landings. The aircraft was originally designed to transport timber from land-locked areas.
