Who are we?
We are a Team of Students at the Technical University of Munich
Phantum is an accredited student club developing record breaking, high-performance UAVs. We are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of technology through innovation and collaboration.
Our Mission
We chose to tackle supersonic flight, as the challenges surrounding it fit with our core values of education and pushing the limits
The development of this technology will open the door to a wide range of applications. We are also developing the aircraft for a high degree of reusability, allowing it to take off again shortly after landing.
Projects
Valkyrie
is our main Project, our path towards developing a student-built, fully reusable supersonic aircraft
Weasel
is our secondary Project, with which we will break the current world speed record for RC aircraft
Aircraft
Valkyrie 1 (V1) is our debut aircraft. It is a test platform for all further developments like system testing and autonomous flight AI testing. For this reason, it is extremely cheap and modular. To enhance flexibility, it is also designed with a movable wing configuration.
Max Speed: 180km/h
Powered by: 90mm EDF
ETA: Q4 2024
Weasel 1 (W1) will be our first turbojet powered aircraft. It is designed as a precursor to W2, which is aimed to break the RC speed record. It will feature a composite structure and blended-wing design for excellent performance, and thrust will be enhanced with water injection.
Max Speed: 750+ km/h
Powered by: AMT Olympus HP
ETA: Q3 2025
Weasel 2 (W2) will be built to break the speed record in the RC (sub-25kg category). It is a supersized version of W1, and will similarly feature a composite structure, blended-wing design and a water injection system.
Max Speed: 1000+ km/h
Powered by: AMT Titan
ETA: Q4 2025
Valkyrie 2 will be a much bigger aircraft than previous models. It will feature a large turbojet engine, augmented with water injection and a custom afterburner with a variable area nozzle. It is designed to reach the mach divergence number and provide us with valuable flight data at transonic speeds. This will allow us to incorporate the lessons learned for our final V3 design.
Max Speed: 1050+ km/h

ETA: Q4 2026
Valkyrie 3 will be our flagship aircraft. Like V2 it will feature a large turbojet engine, augmented with water injection and a custom afterburner with a variable area nozzle. It is designed to break the mach barrier in level flight and push the boundaries of aerospace engineering.
Max Speed: 1200+ km/h

ETA: Q4 2027
