Specially committed students have the opportunity to take part in a focus project in the last year of their studies. Over the course of an academic year, students can prove themselves in the real world of engineering. The self-financed projects are implemented in close cooperation with the industry. This experience offers a tremendous learning curve and forges the extraordinary engineers of tomorrow.
The first two focus projects dealt with the development of a 4-seat electric aircraft. Since September 2020, 20 students have worked for two years on the layout, construction and design of the e-Sling. With the first flight of the e-Sling on 19 September 2022, we are looking back on a major milestone. With new focus projects, other powertrains will also be researched and tested. For example, Project H2 has been working on the development of a fuel cell system since September 2021. This year, the hydrogen powertrain is to be completed so that it can be integrated into a Lightwing AC4 and we can climb new horizons in sustainable aviation! Join us and follow us on our journey!
The e-Sling is based on a Sling TSi, which has been adapted for electrification. Equipped with a modular battery system, the e-Sling offers a range of 180 km for four people.
The e-Sling offers space for four passengers.
The modular battery system can store up to 44 kWh of energy.
The built-in electric motor has a maximum power of 110 kW.
Thanks to the modified wings, the e-Sling can fly up to 180 km.
Mit dem Fokus-Rollout der ETH ging für das Fokus-Team ein weiterer wichtiger Tag zu Ende. Schon früh am Morgen versammelten sich die Fokus-Studierenden im LEE Gebäude, um den Stand mit vielen Komponenten des Wasserstoff-Antriebsstrangs vorzubereiten. Um 12:00 strömten dann die ersten Besucher*innen, darunter auch…
Schon bald wird die Auswahl der neuen Fokusstudent*innen für das kommende akademische Jahr beginnen. Darum organisierte das Team, zusammen mit dem Fokusprojekt Swissloop, einen Open Day für interessierte Studierende. Dieser sollte Elektrotechnik- und Maschinenbaustudierenden die Möglichkeit geben, einen Einblick in die Projekte und in…
