DLR improves the prediction of flight characteristics for future aircraft
26 October 2023
In wind-tunnel tests, the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) has investigated the lift generated by commercial aircraft using state-of-the-art measurement and simulation technologies. The findings will help to predict the characteristics of future aircraft much more accurately than before, in order to make them quieter, more efficient and more environmentally friendly.

Long-haul flights – small changes with a big climate impact
10 October 2023
Even small changes in flight altitude and airspeed, together with the choice of energy source, can significantly reduce the climate impact of long-haul flights. In addition, aircraft specially designed for flight at different altitudes will also make a decisive contribution to climate compatibility on long-haul routes. Researchers at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) have arrived at these conclusions as part of the KuuL project.

Four hundred flight manoeuvres with ISTAR advance its digital twin
22 May 2023
The In-flight Systems and Technology Airborne Research (ISTAR) aircraft has begun scientific operations. ISTAR flights focus on the flight-mechanical and flight-dynamic characteristics of the modified Dassault Falcon 2000LX. The German Aerospace Center (DLR) will use the results to further develop ISTAR’s digital twin.

DLR Göttingen helps in the search for signs of life in space
15 March 2023
Is there life on other planetary bodies? Jupiter's moon Europa could provide an answer to this question. But how might an exploration mission to the Jovian satellite be conducted without contaminating the landing site? To find out, researchers at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Göttingen have carried out investigations in a unique facility.

Aerodynamics and the art of aircraft design
1 February 2023
Computer-aided flow simulation helps researchers design more efficient aircraft and thus reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Airbus, ONERA and DLR have cooperated closely since 2017 on the development of the next generation of CFD code. This partnership has now been extended.
