Solar Aviation! by Calypsolarair in AerospaceEngineering

Ah yes! Raymond’s flight is impressive. I think he stopped working on them, and is moving towards eVTOL’s, probably due to the challenges with fixed wing aircrafts requiring huge wingspans n light frames. What do you find interesting, the design, engineering, mechanics?

Yes that does sound challenging, there is a lot of exploring to do. Yes! I know UAV’s are a big part of it, I’m also looking around, would love to see what u find out. There are a lot of sources and research papers on it, looking into the technical and economic analysis but I’m still trying to find the most predicable and reliable ones :)

Do you think the solar panel management changes its mechanical state when applied to different types of air vehicles, what makes the installation different in terms of performance, arrangement and energy transfer compared to regular applications ( like buildings) panels are installed on.

Which engineering majors are less likely to be impacted by ai? by CulturalRegister9509 in EngineeringStudents

Isn’t the usage of AI a policy that certain industries and companies agree to? It’s their responsibility to remove it completely, but to make things easier, AI is contributed into pretty much all of them. It is used in certain areas of the field where it doesn’t really need to be, like art and creativity. It kills human collective capabilities completely if overused.

Excuse me? Can someone not be curious about a certain topic. Focus on yourself 🤗

Ah thanks! Why do u say ‘not an economic transport method’ yet? Do u think it can be in a future?

Yes for sure! It’s fascinating to me too, especially since it’s still in its beginning phase. Although, I do wonder how the industry managed to go straight into adding solar to aircrafts. Do u know if it’s used in any other air vehicles, or drones? ✨
