Hello EUROAVIAns!
We’re already halfway through our business year, and what a ride it’s been. From hands-on experiences to high-level seminars. We’ve been busy and pushing our passion for aerospace to new heights. Let’s take a detailed look at everything we’ve done so far and what’s coming next.
Did You Know? Designing spacecraft is all about pushing the limits—keeping things as light as possible while ensuring they can survive the harshest conditions. Every extra kilogram means higher costs, so engineers are always on the lookout for materials that are both strong and ultra-lightweight. That’s where aerogels come in. Often called “frozen smoke” because…
Did you know that some of the fastest engines ever created don’t roar like jet engines or rumble like rockets? They’re nearly silent. Scramjets, short for supersonic combustion ramjets, represent one of the most groundbreaking advancements in aerospace technology. Capable of reaching speeds well above Mach 5 (five times the speed of sound), scramjets are…
Aerial photography has transformed dramatically since its inception, evolving from grainy black-and-white images taken during wartime to stunningly detailed, multispectral satellite imagery used in multiple domains such as environmental monitoring, urban planning to surveillance. Further, we will deep dive into the history of aerial photography. Early days of aerial photography The roots of aerial photography…
EUROAVIA is a space where passion and innovation come together, shaping the perspectives and aspirations of its participants. This was especially true for Zaid Karjikar, Vaisakh Shan Rajan, and Danish Shaikh, space engineering students at the Technical University of Berlin, whose participation in the Rotorthon 2024 competition highlighted the power of curiosity and teamwork. Rotorthon…
Anti-gravity technology. The ability to defy gravity without traditional propulsion, has long fascinated people worldwide. Imagine vehicles that float or move effortlessly, or spacecraft that explore distant planets without big fuel requirements. The potential impact on society would be profound, from transportation and space travel to energy production and environmental benefits. But some believe that…
NASA’s Advanced Composites Solar Sail System to be at the forefront of the testing of this innovative propulsion technology, to become sailors of the Solar System.
At the beginning of this Business Year, we realised our beloved AS Forlì-Bologna was about to turn 5 years-old. Even though the first idea of founding the Local Group dates to 2017, due to bureaucratical problems it was officially founded only on January 16th, 2019. Celebrating this important achievement was a must, and thus, the Lustrum was organised on April 13th, 2024.
It was in the year 2012 that Hollywood came along with a fresh idea that stuck inside the guts of popularity and media culture. After decades of films about The World War II, Nazis against American saviors, Nazis against Russians, Nazi zombies & Nazis against Tom Hanks, Hollywood came up with a film even more…
2023 it’s coming to an end and the aerospace industry has continued to grow. Let’s review together some of the most achievements seen during this year.
