UNIVERSITY OF STUTTGART

Electric wing tip propulsion

The University of Stuttgart has achieved a significant milestone in aviation technology with the successful maiden flight of its unmanned test platform, the "e-Genius-Mod," powered solely by an Electric Wing Tip Propulsion System. This ground-breaking achievement marks a significant step forward in the development of electric propulsion for aviation. To support this innovative project, the aircraft was equipped with the state-of-the-art Vectoflow VectoDAQ Air Data System. This system plays a crucial role in gathering and analysing critical flight data, ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of the aircraft. This collaboration between the University of Stuttgart and Vectoflow highlights a shared commitment to pushing the boundaries of aviation technology and exploring new frontiers in electric propulsion systems. This achievement paves the way for future advancements in sustainable aviation and demonstrates the potential for electric propulsion to revolutionize the aerospace industry.
