Tibor van Steenis

Together with other students, we are developing an electric city VTOL to take part in the GoFly Challenge. I'm developing the controller which will be used for the Hermes II, our second prototype.

I have learned to make small prototypes which can react on the environment by using sensors and a microcomputer. Among others, I learned about the principles of an aesthetic design, presenting a concept to the public and testing the user interaction of a concept.

My specialisation, called ‘Design and Development,’ is broadly oriented in the design process of the aeronautical and aerospace sector. The main themes are Conceptual Design, System & Integration and Aerodynamics, Stability & Control.
