VKI-TUD Team “ELEVATE” Wins Stage 2 of the GoAERO Prize!

It is with immense pride and excitement that the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics announces another remarkable achievement: the VKI-TUD team ELEVATE is among the winners of Stage 2 of the GoAERO competition!

After shining in Stage 1, the team successfully tackled the next challenge: developing a 35%-scale emergency drone and demonstrating its capabilities through an uncut flight video over 100 feet, including payload and dimension checks.
