Today, there’s no single, centralized platform for aerospace. If you want to learn about rocketry, planes, and space, courses and resources are scattered across YouTube, Wikipedia, academic papers, websites, and more. Making it difficult for everyone to navigate this vast knowledge. I created AeroVia to become the place to be for anyone in aerospace, a central hub for aerospace where you can learn, connect, find jobs, and more.
My inspiration for AeroVia began when I came to the Netherlands to study at TU Delft. I met Johannes Moser, who was working with his friend Michael Feßl on model rocket courses. I joined their efforts, but our visions for building a platform diverged, so I started AeroVia.
I had only made 1 simple website when I was 12, so I spent the first few weeks binge-watching Theo (t3.gg) and then found Cursor (back then very new) to get into vibe coding. So I built a platform to share courses and resources. With a dashboard to write the courses, manage users, and manage all the other stuff.
First version of the dashboard:
AeroVia is more than a learning platform. It is a community and resource hub for anyone who wants to explore the frontiers of aerospace! The aerospace community is fragmented and spread across different continents. I want to bring it together on this platform. I am working on many new features, you can check them out at aerovia.org/roadmap. I built this platform to solve one of my own problems, how to learn aerospace topics, but it turns out there are many more things we can solve and improve to make aerospace more accessible.
