AETH2ERIA

AETH2ERIA is a hydrogen-powered electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft designed during the final bachelors project within TU Delft's Design/Synthesis Exercise (DSE), April - June 2023.

This page summarizes all the outputs of this project.

The following is a video of the final DSE symposium that took place on the 29th of June 2023 at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, TU Delft.
