This week, marked an exciting event - the first in-person FᴜᴛPʀIɴᴛ50 Advisory Board meeting. Advisory Board members representing the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), Safran, the University of Victoria, Vereinigung Cockpit, and FᴜᴛPʀIɴᴛ50 experts came together at the University of Stuttgart on 1 March 2023.

On the 19th of October 2022, the FᴜᴛPʀIɴᴛ50 Aircraft Design Challenge celebrated its award ceremony and came to an end during the 12th EASN International Conference on "Innovation in Aviation & Space for opening New Horizons” in Barcelona, Spain following a 6-month competition among 14 promising young scientists, forming four teams. Each team consisted of a maximum of five MSc. students from all over Europe who presented their proposals for a hybrid-electric aircraft design.

The last issue for 2022 of the quarterly e-newsletter of the European Aeronautics Science Network has just been released, covering interesting topics relevant to the aeronautics community. Among other aviation highlights, it points out the latest news and current progress of the FᴜᴛPʀIɴᴛ50 project.

After six months of brainstorming and hard work on the FᴜᴛPʀIɴᴛ50 Aircraft Design Challenge, the excitement among students has been growing, as the final stage of the competition is fast approaching!

FᴜᴛPʀIɴᴛ50 project and FᴜᴛPʀIɴᴛ50 Academy are glad to announce their participation in the upcoming

On the 9th and 10th of August, 2022 the FᴜᴛPʀIɴᴛ50 team was gathered at the impressive premises of TU Delft in the summer Delft in the Netherlands for its M30 Progress Meeting.

Scientists of the FᴜᴛPʀIɴᴛ50 project proposed a technique to separate the coherent and incoherent components from pressure fluctuations generated by a propeller in propulsive and energy harvesting regimes.
