✈️ Exciting Project Spotlight: VoltAero Hybrid Aircraft Manufacturing Plant! 🌍🏗️
We’re excited to highlight our customer, VoltAero, and their ambitious project at Rochefort Airport, France! This cutting-edge manufacturing plant will support the production of their Cassio hybrid aircraft, with the goal of 150 units per year by 2025.
The new facility will cover 2,400 m² (~25,833 ft²), with plans to expand to 7,400 m² (~79,653 ft²). It will feature three assembly lines, a workshop, a logistics area, and a design office, all designed with sustainability at the forefront.
In collaboration with the Syndicat Mixte des Aéroports La Rochelle, VoltAero is committed to eco-efficient aviation, utilizing wood, rainwater harvesting systems, and photovoltaic panels in the building design, surpassing RT 2012 requirements.
🔍 Project Details:
▪️ The assembly hall structure consists mainly of timber and concrete columns for load support.
▪️ High trusses with a length of over 3 m (9.8 ft) and a span of more than 35 m (115 ft)
▪️ The tertiary areas have a mixed timber-concrete structure with glulam beams and concrete walls.
The project was designed with precision using RFEM 6, which incorporates advanced analysis techniques, including multimodal spectral analysis for seismic considerations.
We're proud to support innovative projects that prioritize sustainability and efficiency in aviation! 🚀
