Guest presentation by Dr Philipp Sueltrop, Kea Aerospace
Title: Reaching the Stratosphere and Beyond
Abstract: Kea Aerospace is developing the solar-powered, uncrewed fixed-wing aircraft Kea Atmos, which will fly continuously for months at a time to collect frequent high-resolution aerial images. Flying in the stratosphere, the Kea Atmos will operate in a sweet spot for cost-effective, high-resolution aerial imaging. In the aviation industry, these platforms are called High Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS).
Besides Kea Aerospace’s mission, the talk will cover aircraft design aspects, Kea’s flight testing progress and faced challenges.
