What a special day at our Joensuu factory in Finland 🎉 Together with FLYING WHALES, today we celebrated the opening of our new purpose-equipped production area for the LCA60T airship program. Our CEO & President Paul Sohlberg and FLYING WHALES CEO Vincent Guibout joined the project team in Joensuu to mark the special occasion. The LCA60T is an innovative 200-meter-long vertical take-off airship capable of transporting up to 60 tons of cargo. Its frame requires around 80 kilometers of pull-wound carbon fiber tubes, combining lightweight construction with high mechanical performance. Our new production environment in Joensuu has been built to support the demanding process control, repeatability and quality requirements of the LCA60T program, while also strengthening our capabilities for other demanding applications. The project is now moving into process validation, as we prepare for production of the composite tubes for the first LCA60T airship frame. A great achievement by the teams at Exel and FLYING WHALES — special kudos to our amazing colleagues in Joensuu who have worked hard to bring this new capability to life. 👏 Read more: https://lnkd.in/d-rTTyVS #ExelComposites #FLYINGWHALES #Composites #Aerospace #Innovation #Pullwinding #ForwardThinkers #LCA60T
