ABOUT HERA

The HERA project was a 5 week group design project carried out by students at Imperial College London. The puropse of this project was to create the preliminary conceptual design of a hybrid, fixed-wing regional aricraft.  For more details about this project please download the executive summary from the Project Documents section.
