Sustainable Aviation requires emission-free aircraft

Dutch initiative joining forces in project DragonFly to electrify an existing small aircraft

Going electric

Why sustainable aviation matters to our Aeronautical & Precision Engineering students and partners

How would a design of an electrically converted small aircraft look like?

 

 

By 1998, 500 examples of all Dragonfly variants were reported as flying.

None of them have been equiped with electric propulsion, until now….

 

 

We have been educating aeronautical engineering since 1936

The oldest aeronautical engineering university of applied sciences in the Netherlands started in Haarlem, the hometown of Anthony Fokker. In 2004 we moved to Delft.

Testimonials

 

“I see a really wonderful group of motivated people here in Aeronautical Engineering.

We are always interested in that at Airbus, of course!”
