An integrated bicycle computer mount for aerodynamic handlebars: Development of a lightweight and aerodynamic solution for integration of bike computers into aerodynamic handlebars of professional road cycling bicycles

The goal of this graduation thesis is to design a bicycle computer mount (BCM) that connects bike computers with road cycling handlebars in a visually appealing, and aerodynamic way. Initiated between Delft University of Technology and a leading sports equipment company, the project addresses the evolving needs of cyclists regarding maximum...

Optimization of a Multi-Element Airfoil for a Rigid Airborne Wind Energy Kite

Airborne wind energy (AWE) systems benefit from a high lift airfoil to increase the power output, to that end, multi-element airfoils are investigated for AWE applications. This thesis aims to optimize a multi-element airfoil for a rigid AWE kite that operates in a pumping cycle. Since the kite has distinct operational phases, i.e., reel-out and...
