Profile
The Institute of Space Systems (IRS) is testing and demonstrating the use of a remote-controlled model aeroplane as a remote sensing platform. For this purpose, the model aeroplane "Stuttgarter Adler" is equipped with various payloads in order to carry out scientific missions to determine the "bidirectional reflectance distribution function" (BRDF) and to record environmental data. The "Stuttgart Eagle" was specially designed and constructed for its task by students from the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering. It differs from the model aeroplanes used by amateur pilots in that it takes safety-relevant factors into account. The design provides for a large fuselage for the instrumentation, and the electric drive system is housed in two engine nacelles in the supporting structure.
