Aerodynamics Subsystem The aerodynamic design of an air vehicle, apart from the study and analysis of the aerodynamic behavior of its parts (wing, fuselage, tail), singleton or combined, includes the study of its dynamic behavior as well, by sizing the control surfaces. This task is undertaken by the control subsystem Read more…
Structural Subsystem Structural sub team is responsible for the design of the aircraft in cooperation with Αerodynamics Design (aka Aerodynamics) sub team. Structural sub team’s job though does not end there, they are responsible of the materials that are going to be used in an aircraft, the fabrication methods, the Read more…
Avionics Subsystem The “Avionics” subsystem works with anything that is related to an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle’s electronics. Specifically, the subsystem’s primary goal is the creation of proper infrastructures for achieving flight and collecting necessary data during it. This includes the construction and maintenance of the aircraft’s electronics, but also the Read more…
“Rockets? Satellites? UAVs? Who manufactures them?” How would it sound, if I told you that a few students are designing a UAV? Yes, you got it right, an innovative unmanned air vehicle, capable of lifting loads and execute a specific mission, while using solar power for its function. How would Read more…
Our team was in Thessaloniki International Fair from September 7 to 15 to guide people to the most fantastic corner of pavilion 14, to provide them a magical trip to the aerospace! In the fair, we exhibited our three projects: our two air-vehicles, Nephele and Aurora, the rocket “Hyperion” and Read more…
The second day of Air Cargo Challenge 2019 did not go as expected for our team. The cross winds were intense and the challenge for us even greater. The competition today started with Nephele III, which after three attempts failed to take off, because of a rear landing gear failing. At Read more…
The second day of Air Cargo Challenge 2019 in Stuttgart has just been completed. Today, the competition included two phases, the flight tests and the official flights, which will be at least three for every competitive airplane. Twelve out of the twenty seven teams didn’t manage to fly successfully, unlikely Read more…
Today the technical inspections of our competitive UAV models, Nephele III and Aurora, were successfully completed at the Air Cargo Challenge 2019. We are excited to share with you that our models have passed all the necessary reviews and they both move on to the next phase of the competition. Read more…
Every day we are one step closer to the Air Cargo Challenge 2019 and we hope the days of grooming are going to pay off. The construction of the two UAVs is done and the only thing left is the test flights, which takes place at the Airclub of Larisa. Read more…
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 surfaces and the tail of the aircraft through an iterative Read more…
