(Photograph: ETH Zurich) - As part of the focus projects, mechanical and electrical engineering students have developed solutions for the challenges of the future. In teams, they spent two semesters developing new technical approaches for their respective projects. The "IGNIS" and "e-Sling" teams presented here are just two of this year's many notable focus projects. Unique electric aircraft. The "e-Sling" focus project team set itself the goal of developing the first four-seater electric aircraft that is optimized for different flight distances thanks to its modular battery system. In its basic configuration, it is expected to offer a range of 250 km for four passengers.
