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."
