Video: Novel Electric Drive For Eco-efficient Flying With Motor Gliders
The Technical University of Wildau shows on the joint stand of the State of Brandenburg on the occasion of the trade fair for general aviation Aero 2017 essential components of a new type of electric drive train for light aircraft. The research work in the aviation technology center of the TH Wildau under the direction of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Rüther-Kindel are carried out in cooperation with Reiner Stemme Utility Air Systems GmbH, Wildau. The drive is intended for a two-seater motor glider with the designation "RS10.E elfin", which the company is currently developing as part of the federal government's LuFo V aerospace research program.
At the trade fair, TH Wildau will also present its area of expertise "Development, design, construction and testing, as well as the use of unmanned small aircraft up to a maximum of 25 kg". These aircraft are used, among other things, for environmental monitoring, for producing high-quality aerial photographs and three-dimensional terrain models, as well as for professional film recordings. In addition, those interested can find out more about the aviation-related courses at TH Wildau. The university offers the full-time bachelor's and master's courses in "Aviation Technology / Aviation Logistics" as well as post-graduate part-time master's courses in "Business Administration" (MBA) with a specialization in air traffic management and "Aviation Management" (AVIMA).
