HORYZN is a student initiative consisting of 58 Bachelor, Master and PhD students of the TU Munich. The team is conceptualizing, designing and building eVTOL (electrical Vertical Take-Off and Landing) UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) for real-life use cases. 💡ABOUT HORYZN was founded in 2019. Meanwhile, the initiative has around 60 members studying at TU Munich and contributing to our different subteams: Flight Testing & Control, CAD, Integration & Design Loop, Structure and Business. The student initiative has also become part of the NEXT Prototypes e.V. HORYZN is particularly proud of the internationality of the team - 21 countries are represented. 💭MOTIVATION HORYZN mainly wants to solve real-life problems with good purpose by applying theoretical knowledge gained in university. Besides that, the initiative strives for an increased social and political acceptance of UAVs. ✅LAST ACTIVITIES In October 2020, we finished our first project: Our UAV Silencio Gamma, developed for logistical purposes, successfully took off after 11 months of testing, building, crashing and redesigning. 🛠CURRENT PROJECT Right now, the new team of HORYZN is planning to develop an eVTOL UAV for a real-life medical use case. The final goal is to obtain an operational authorization. Also, we plan to stimulate an increased exchange of like-minded institutions and people. Contact us for more details!
