What’s in store for aerospace engineering in the coming years? A peek at projects being spearheaded by the Technion reveals technology of science fiction caliber, but the next frontier is closer than we think. The Technion’s Faculty of Aerospace Engineering and its Norman and Helen Asher Space Research Institute (ASRI) are exploring impressive projects from a hyper-sonic aircraft that travels at five times the speed of sound to telescopes that self-assemble in space. Often referred to as a “mini-NASA,” the Technion Faculty of Aerospace Engineering is the only department of its kind in Israel and has trained most of the…
H2PRO’s innovative, green energy technology won “best company in the scale-up track” of Royal Dutch Shell’s New Energy Challenge 2020, in which European and Israeli startups and scale-ups propose world-altering solutions to shape our future energy system. The startup was one of just five finalists in the oil giant’s international prestigious annual competition, and the youngest to break through. H2PRO was also the only one from Israel to make the final cut. Technion-founded H2PRO invented a method to produce sustainable hydrogen fuel on a large-scale that is efficient, inexpensive, and safe.
