Commendation: University of Stuttgart with MOBULA
The MOBULA (Modular Blended Wing Body Ultra Low Emission Aircraft) design from the University of Stuttgart combines the aerodynamic advantages of a flying wing with an innovative airport handling process. Designed for 72 passengers and a flight range of 1500 kilometres, its main body can be separated from the wing structure at the airport, speeding up ground handling. MOBULA is powered by six electric propeller motors driven by electricity from a fuel cell and batteries, while hydrogen is stored in two interchangeable tanks at the rear of the aircraft.
