Dübendorf, Switzerland

AEOLOS

A lasting home for UAV innovation. Connecting people, ideas and experience to bring the next generation of aerial systems to life.

Our ambition

Projects evolve.
Knowledge stays.

We are building a permanent hub for research and innovation in unmanned aerial vehicles. A place where students, researchers, industry and investors can come together to explore ideas, build real systems and take promising work further.

Initiated by ETH Zurich students and based at Innovationspark Zürich in Dübendorf, AEOLOS is an independent Swiss association in formation. Our ambition is to carry knowledge, experience and connections from one project to the next — giving every new team a stronger starting point.

A shared foundation

Give the next idea a head start.

01

Build on real hardware

Flight-tested platforms turn past engineering work into a starting point for new questions, experiments and applications.

02

Keep what we learn

Methods, test data and infrastructure form a shared foundation that grows with every project.

03

Pass experience forward

Knowledge moves between teams and generations of students, connecting fresh ambition with practical experience.

Each project has its own mission. What it learns becomes part of the foundation for the next.
