The composites producer will provide R&D support during the airship’s rigid structure prototyping phase, developing and manufacturing the estimated 80km of carbon fibre tubing needed to make this concept a reality. The LCA60T is a 200m long vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) airship that uses helium lifting technology to lift its weight and cargo capacity.
“Each airship requires 80km of pull-wound
carbon fibre tubes,” explained Guillaume Klein, business development manager at Exel Composites. “Pull-winding is ideal for these applications as it allows extra reinforcements to be added to the tubes compared to other techniques. Furthermore, being a continuous manufacturing process, it allows us to produce the large volumes of tubes needed for this project while maintaining quality, stability, and uniformity.” He added: “We are working closely with
FLYING WHALES to develop a unique tube that meets the technical requirements and
With a minimum rating of 10 million continuous flex cycles and three million torsional flex cycles, these cables offer superior flexibility. They are ideal for various manufacturing and robotics applications, including pick-and-place, cartesian/gantry, SCARA (selective compliance assembly room arm), Delta/Parallel, and machine tools. Additionally, they excel in motion control tasks such as high-speed vision systems, encoder/resolver applications, case formers, case packers, conveying systems, and vacuum packaging. Part of the Alpha Wire Xtra-Guard Industrial Ethernet Cable range,
these cables come with options for Cat 5e Ethernet, including unshielded, foil/braid, and Cat 6A foil/braid configurations, providing exceptional performance and reliability in the most extreme environments. Speak to Aerco to find

specifications needed to make this project viable. Most aerospace standards don’t cover airships yet, instead focusing on planes and helicopters.”
The SRH-S1 includes an XR head-mounted display with high-quality 4K OLED Microdisplays and controllers for intuitive interaction with 3D objects. Sony has been using the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio as its primary product engineering software since 2015, at an accelerated pace. Sony’s Amatatsu commented: “Sony succeeded in implementing NX in the
fastest schedule in the world and we were able to improve our design process productivity by 25%. Although significant advancements have been made with NX, I wanted to achieve further evolution with a product that brings innovations allowing direct editing in an immersive environment. I believed that could be realised with Siemens and, as a result, the XR head-mounted display was developed that could bring innovative products to market more rapidly.” Sony’s XR head-mounted display is a fundamental part of the
forthcoming NX Immersive Designer, an integrated solution that combines Siemens’ industry leading product engineering software, NX, exclusively with Sony’s breakthrough XR technology to deliver immersive design and collaborative product engineering capabilities. Hirohito Kondo, deputy general manager, XR Business Development Division,
Product Management Department of Sony, said: “Our head-mounted display and dedicated controllers lets you create more intuitively in a fully immersive environment, allowing you to move freely between the virtual and real worlds – collaborating and creating with colleagues around the world in real time.”
