10.30 – 10.55 Break
11.00 – 11.25 Introduction to Space Oasis Delft 2
Space Oasis Delft 2 is a dream team of TU Delft, consisting of students from various disciplines. This year, the purpose of the team is to design a self-sustaining village on Mars, making life compatible with the Martian environment. The team will participate in the space village competition organized by the Jacques Rougerie foundation.
In this presentation we will explain what a dream team is, what the competition we compete in details and how our project's general scope tackles that. We'll also introduce the various departments: architecture, biology, and engineering. Furthermore, we will go into the specifics about how Engineering comes into play in this project.
Zhihao Yang, Space Oasis Delft
11.30 – 11.55 Electric Power Train testing at NLR
Overview of the developments at NLR with regard to testing electrical 'power trains'. Using some examples of recent projects in the field of electrical propulsion systems, an overview is given of the development of the new NLR test facility: EPTF (Energy to Propulsion Test Facility).
Guus Vos, NLR
12.00 – 12.55 Lunch break
13.00 – 13.25 Changing conditions during paragliding
During my paragliding trip to Kilimanjaro I encountered various environmental conditions. At the time I was not so concerned about it, but with the knowledge of today it does have an impact. During the trip the material is exposed to significantly changing conditions and forces. In fact, you fly down at a rapid pace through the different climate conditions. And you expect the screen to fly the same at take-off as it does at landing. But is that the case? I will discuss that during my presentation. So you see that the layman is not at all concerned about the results of all the environmental tests, but makes grateful use of them without realizing it. Every day again.
Maarten Vogelaar, Weiss Technik
13.30 – 13.55 Safety and Systems Engineering in AeroDelft
AeroDelft is a student team devoted to proving and promoting the use of hydrogen as an alternative to conventional fuels in aviation. As a team, we have improved our way of working over the years and we have learned from mistakes we made. In this presentation, AeroDelft wants to put emphasis on the new lessons which the team has learned regarding safety and systems engineering.
Stan Etman, AeroDelft
14.00 – 14.25 Break
14.30 – 14.45 Presentation Aviodrome
The museum is dedicated to the history of aviation and offers exhibitions, aircraft and interactive experiences for visitors of all ages. At Aviodrome, visitors can view historic aircraft up close, including some iconic aircraft, and learn about the development of aviation over the years.
14.45 – 16.00 Guided tour of Aviodrome
During a guided tour of the 6,000 m² museum, you will fly in chronological order through the fascinating history of aviation from 1785 to 2012. Mankind first ventured into the clouds in a hot air balloon. Birds were a source of inspiration for flight, in the 17th century funny and unfortunate attempts were made to stay in the air. The tour will teach you many fun and interesting facts about the history of aviation. In the museum and on the outdoor grounds you will find jewels of aircraft, including the Boeing 747 and Lockheed Constellation, you can see them up close!
