The two main responsibilities of the Stability and Control sub-team are to conduct the complete analysis and study of both the “static” and “dynamic” stability of the aircraft. Theoretically, the Static Stability is referred to the design of the control Read more…
When somebody thinks of designing an aircraft, they usually believe it’s a job that requires solely aerodynamic studies, graphic modelling and some imagination. However, there is more into it. The Aerodynamics sub team is indeed responsible for conducting the studies, Read more…
Each airplane before reaching the manufacturing stage goes through the long design process. The Aerodynamics sub-team has a primary role in design. Initially, aerodynamics is defined as the specific field of fluid mechanics that deals with the movement of fluids, Read more…
On May 25, Aeronautics team visited Larissa for Aurora’s first flight. Aurora is an Unnamed Aerial Vehicle (UAV), Glider type and constitutes one of our two participations at this year’s Air Cargo Challenge (ACC) in Stuttgart. At the same time, Read more…
What is a Tender-Descender? Tender Descender is a device that allows you to perform dual deployment using a single parachute storage compartment. It works by preventing the main parachute from inflating, even though it has been ejected out of the Read more…
At our launch tests on 22nd of March, we used our 2rocket vehicles, H1 and H2. Both of them were designed and built by our team members from scratch. The H1 The H1 rocket is the first G class rocket Read more…
The recovery of the H1 and H2 rockets was achieved using parachutes, a common way to recover bigger commercial rockets. But how can a parachute be deployed at the apogee in order to recover the rocket? The most common method Read more…
Our 29mm 122-G85 Solid Rocket Motor is fully designed by the Propulsion Sub-team. The aim of the design was to gain experience in designing solid rocket motors, in manufacturing and handling of propellants and in testing motors. So, with our Read more…
Defining the term UAV becomes difficult when taking into consideration the various shapes and purposes of each Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. It usually is the main component of a so called UAS, Unmanned Aircraft System, including a ground-based controller and a Read more…
