Safely charge an electric aircraft without physical supervision? It’s possible according to TULIPS. During our special Demo Day at Rotterdam The Hague Airport we will share the first results of our solution. So make a note of September 17 in your calendar!
Testing our smart and safe concept
As electric flying is new, currently a person must always physically supervise the charging process for safety reasons. That’s inconvenient, because charging may take a few hours. The TULIPS programme wants to show how you can safely monitor the charging with the help of smart software, data sharing and camera images.
Save the date: 17 September
During the demo day on Tuesday the 17th of September, multiple technological solutions will be presented. Experiences from the tests will be shared and there will be room for discussion
Location: Rotterdamsche AeroClub
The demo day will take place at the Rotterdamsche AeroClub (Malpensabaan 11, 3045AL, Rotterdam), next to Rotterdam The Hague Airport, between 13:00 and 17:00. A detailed agenda will be shared later.
