Quebec's provincial government invested $30 million into the international company, Flying Whales, as part of its northern economic development strategy. The vessels have been touted as a lower-cost solution to transport cargo to remote areas, including the North. Flying Whales does not have a flying prototype yet. Flying Whales has said its vehicle would be the largest aircraft in the world — at 200 meters long and 50 meters high. Quebec's Ministry of Economy, Science and Innovation said it will not release its $30 million deal with Flying Whales to the public.
