The Institute of Electrified Aero Engines

H2ELECTRA-Flotte
Regional aircraft with fuselage-integrated and nacelle-integrated propulsion variants over the Lakes in Lusatia-region of Germany

The Institute of Electrified Aero Engines is tasked with researching hybrid-electric drives. We focus on researching electrified aviation propulsion systems that are significantly lower in emissions. The plan is to concentrate on the area of electric and hybrid-electric flight systems, such as hydrogen-based fuel cell systems. The scientific issues are geared towards the propulsion topologies required for the next generation of aircraft.

Holistic system approach

The institute pursues a holistic systems approach to electrified aircraft engines and thus closes gaps in the portfolio of German aircraft engine research.

In Cottbus, the new institute makes a significant contribution to the structural change in Brandenburg towards a high-tech region for future aeronautical engineering. It is integrated into a broad competency and research network within and beyond the DLR to open up engineering competencies from other disciplines for the “Lausitz-Region”.
