Students design, build and test their own aircraft

The second-year Aeronautical & Precision Engineering students spent the entire academic year designing, building and testing their aircraft. Divided over two semesters, work was done in groups of about 15 students. Given the size of the aircraft and its high degree of complexity, the aircraft was split into several parts (see image): the fuselage (blue), the tail (yellow) and the wing (green). Four to six students worked on each part. The gray parts are made by teachers in such a way to allow for a modular design. In addition, numerous components have been added to validate the mission and flight characteristics. Visit www.inholland.... for more information
