ELF Project: Croatia's step towards the electromagnetic rocket engine of the future deepseek / deepseek-v4-flash 2026-05-09 06:30 Science Technology Article in German Article in Croatian
The Adriatic Aerospace Association (A3) has launched a project to develop the ELF (Electrodeless Lorentz Force) electromagnetic rocket engine. The consortium includes FESB Split, KonĨar Institute, Imperial College London, and Aerospace Innovation GmbH. ELF propulsion is based on Lorentz force without electrodes, reducing wear and extending lifespan. The goal of the first phase is to reach technology readiness level TRL3. The project proposal has been submitted to the ESA PECS program for Croatia.
