Silverwing Personal Flight

We are a team of young engineers from TU Delft developing an all-electric personal VTOL aircraft. Join us our exciting journey to the @goflyprize and beyond...

Working through day and night our #engineering #team has demonstrated the S1's capability to #fly untethered outdoors. It is a massive step in our #flight #test campaign and shows just how far we have come from when the S1 was just a #dream on paper.

Na twee jaar valt het doek voor @teamsilverwing. Het dreamteam van de @tudelft ontwierp en bouwde een elektrisch eenpersoonsvliegtuigje.

February was a historic month for Silverwing. We hope you enjoy watching this throwback video as much as we enjoyed our time in the US! #flysilverwing #throwbacktuesday

Last week we ended our California trip with a special flight demonstration for friends and family at the Patriots Jet Team hangar. We couldn’t have imagined a better way to end the USA adventure of Silverwing!

Check out this exciting project of @teamsilverwing, which we support with our Bolero. The young engineers of TU Delft are developing a fully electric, vertical take-off aircraft for personal use. Sounds crazy, right?

We have moved outdoors! Making the most of the #sunny #california weather our team has started testing outdoors. We have now set up our #testing facility at Byron and performed several tethered #flight .

@BenBrelje_says Hi Ben!
You can see how the passenger gets in the aircraft from the image.

@NLR_NL @GoFlyPrize Thank you for your support!

[Silverwing Personal Flight @teamsilverwing]

The S1 is now certified for outdoor flight! After being thoroughly inspected by the #FAA the S1 received its Special Flight Authorization. We are all incredibly proud of this #achievement and we will be soon #flying our #aircraft outdoors!

[Silverwing Personal Flight @teamsilverwing]

New week new beginning!
We spent the weekend preparing our #aircraft for our first untethered #flight. Making several #modifications and polishing our safety and preflight checklists.

[Silverwing Personal Flight @teamsilverwing]

The S1 is going to #fly with the batteries onboard! To pass the @GoFlyPrize Flight Preparedness Review (FPR) we must fly using only our #custom #battery and no external cables. Our team is hard at work ensuring that we pass the FPR and move onto the next step: #outdoor flight.

[Silverwing Personal Flight @teamsilverwing]

In less than a week, our team has not just setup a new #test #facility in #California, but has also conducted #battery #powered test flights! Stay tuned for updates as we unlock #personal #flight and enjoy the California sun.

When we are not flying using our batteries, we use a generator to power our aircraft. To transfer all this energy to our vehicle we use high-voltage reels provided to us by @PowerReel.

At Silverwing safety is our number one priority and effective communication is the key! Thanks to the industry-leading SoundComm B40 Headset, provided to us by @BoseAviation , we’re able to communicate seamlessly with each other during our tests and the competition.
