Horus
Project Horus is the outcome of a semester of hard work towards an aircraft design contest held at the Institute for Aircraft Design at the University of Stuttgart (IFB).
The goal was to design a new long range aircraft with higher efficiency than current aircrafts in use. The approach towards this in project Horus was to use a canard configuration, creating lift at both horizontal surfaces (wings and stabiliser) and to reduce the empty weight by using modern materials like carbon fiber compound materials and a new sandwich concept for the fuselage.
The team consisted of
- Aiko Dühne
- Tim Jagenberg
- Jörn Loose
- Oliver Oeser
- Michael Powelleit
