Welcome to Aero Team Eindhoven – where innovation meets the sky! Our mission is to revolutionize high-priority package delivery through cutting-edge drone technology. Picture this: a seamless network of aerial highways connecting vital logistical points, allowing drones to soar through the skies with unparalleled efficiency.
Envision a drone gracefully navigating our sky-high network. As its battery approaches depletion, it signals our system for a quick refuel. In an instant, a smaller drone launches from the nearest refuelling station. It will interlock in mid-air and swap the empty battery to a full one. The result? A lightning-fast battery swap that propels the cargo drone to endless flights, delivering packages fast, sustainably, and over bigger distances.
Our journey began last year with the creation of Aegle, our first fixed-wing drone. Now, we're pushing the boundaries even further with an even more stable second prototype. The excitement doesn't stop there – we're actively developing various prototypes of the battery swap mechanism and the software driving the autonomous flight of our drones.
But we're more than just innovative technology; we're a community of aviation enthusiasts here at TU/e! Join us, and you'll gain hands-on knowledge in building and piloting drones, sharing your passion for aerospace engineering with like-minded peers.
