Meet our Team!
ETH Zurich - Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
Basil Weibel
Project LeadBasil obtained bachelor degrees in Economics and International Affairs from the University of St. Gallen simultaneously. He is passionate about inventing new concepts.
Julian Zilly
ControlJulian is among the very best students in the programme. Before starting his Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering at ETH, he spent a year abroad in California. He focuses his study area on all kinds of control and modeling problems.
Simon Kober
AerodynamicsAfter working as a helicopter mechanic Simon got interested in VTOL aircrafts. When finding new concepts, he complements the team by pointing to critical issues and by contributing wild ideas on his own.
Daniel Lehmann
StructureDaniel’s approach to Engineering is very hands-on. He is an integral part of the team with his substantial knowledge in mechanics and practical attitude to solve problems.
Felix Winkler
StructureFelix acts as systems engineer within the team. His continued efforts in keeping track and managing of the overall development and his work in structural design drive the project forward.
Sebastian Verling
ControlSebastian is a very enthusiastic engineering student with a passion for solving technical problems, especially in control. He puts his heart into his work and has recently received the Excellence Scholarship and Opportunity Award of ETH.
ZHAW - Zurich University of Applied Sciences
Remo Büchele
ElectronicsRemo's interests are mainly focused in Embedded Systems. Therefore he is responsible for the control unit of the PacFlyer and its software. The integration of the control part provided by Julian and Sebastian into its system is also included in his work. The whole theory about airplanes is new land for Remo, but that is exactly the thing that makes the project interesting.
Marc Faude
ElectronicsDuring the studies Marc developed a preference for electric drives and power systems. The requirement of high efficiency and being as light as possible at the same time is an interesting challenge of the PacFlyer project. Therefore he deals with the electric drives and the power management of the uav. The electronic parts of this system contain several difficulties that have to be solved in a proper way.
