A few months have passed after the 2024 Air Cargo Challenge in Aachen, and it is a good time to look back at our journey in the competition.
At the end of April this year, members of our local group in Braunschweig had the unique opportunity to visit the flight simulator at TU Braunschweig. This simulator offers an incredibly realistic replication of the cockpit of a modern Airbus A320 and is part of the Institute of Flight Guidance (IFF). Like the real aircraft, the simulator’s cockpit is equipped with two seats, reflecting the fact that the A320 is operated by two pilots. This setup allowed two participants to sit in the cockpit at a time, taking turns in the pilot’s seat.
The last years of the 1980s proved pivotal for EUROAVIA as we know it today. The Central Committee was re-established and successful events were held including the European Cooperation Symposium 1988 in Delft and the Symposium on Hypersonics 1989 in Munich. By the end of 1989, the progressive ideology of a cohesive transnational association, just as we know it today was the dominant one within EUROAVIA.

The history of hot air balloons is deeply intertwined with the city of Paris, where dreams of flight first became a reality. This journey, rooted in the Enlightenment, began with the audacious experiments of the Montgolfier brothers in the 18th century and continues to inspire innovation today. The 2024 Paris Olympics will pay tribute to this legacy with a unique, flying Olympic Cauldron, symbolizing France’s enduring spirit of creativity and adventure.

Have you ever looked up at an airplane soaring through the sky and wondered, “How on earth does that massive metal bird stay up there?”
The 5th edition of Airbus Sloshing Rocket Workshop (ASRW), a prestigious event for aerospace engineering students, took place in Lisbon, at the Instituto Superior Técnico and the Portuguese Air force Academy facilities from the 9th to the 15th of August 2024. In this year’s competition, several records were broken, including the highest number of registrations, greater horizontal flight distance and highest number of successful launches. A team from the University of Bologna and AS Forlì-Bologna, “Squirrel Works”, comprised of members from Italy, Spain, and Colombia, claimed victory at the end of the event.
Recently, on July 9th, 2024, at 21:00 CEST, the European Space Agency (ESA) launched Europe’s newest rocket, Ariane 6 from Kourou in French Guyana. Interestingly, the official spaceport for ESA’s launches is not in continental Europe but in South America, close to the equator. However, did you know there are also rocket launching sites in the old continent?
