Teuge Airport gets E-Deck with its own E-Campus for electric aviation

High-end hangar Skydeck changes name and destination.

Europe's first electric flight school E-Flight Academy and maintenance company Hangar One have joined forces and are the new owners of Skydeck at Teuge Airport (near Apeldoorn). The high-end hangar and event location is located next to the runway and will develop its own E-Campus in the coming period under the name E-Deck. 

E-Campus
E-Campus must become the center for everything related to electric flying. By bringing together knowledge with expertise and facilities, all forces are combined to significantly accelerate sustainable aviation. 

Shared research facilities
In the E-Campus, various shared research facilities will be established such as: virtual and augmented reality technology, hybrid and electric aircraft, battery technology, flight simulators, and charging infrastructure. About 10 companies and educational institutions will be dedicated daily to the sustainability of aviation. The E-Campus aims to become an important innovative center and breeding ground for accelerating the transition to electric flying.

E-Deck as a sustainable event venue
Besides housing the E-Campus, the hangar E-Deck will also be used as a location for events with a sustainable character. All companies that already had a booking will continue as planned and are still welcome. The focus of events in the future will increasingly move towards sustainability. 

European Regional Development Fund
De gedeelde faciliteit E-Deck is een innovatief ecosysteem dat R&D en doorontwikkeling binnen elektrische vliegtuigtechnologie en elektrificatie luchthaveninfrastructuur en grondgebonden activiteiten faciliteert. E-Deck is een fysieke gedeelde locatie waar kennis, expertise en ambitie samenkomen rondom e-luchtvaart. Het gaat daarbij om mkb-bedrijven in samenwerking met kennis- en onderwijsinstellingen. Naast het versnellen van de transitie naar elektrisch vliegen, maakt het Luchthaven Teuge daarnaast een interessante vestigingsplaats voor bedrijven die actief zijn in de ontwikkeling van elektrische vervoersmodaliteiten. E-Deck wordt mede middels financiële ondersteuning vanuit het Europees Fonds voor Regionale Ontwikkeling gerealiseerd voor 31-12-2023. Mede gefinancierd in het kader van de respons van de Unie op de COVID-19-pandemie.
