Advanced Light Aircraft Training: The ALiTrain project is investigating the benefits of mixed reality (MR) simulators for training pilots for current and future aircraft configurations.
ANTS addresses key fundamental open problems for advanced safety-oriented flight guidance and navigation methods to safely, robustly, and reliably enable the future envisioned throughput of hundreds of safe landings and takeoffs per hour for urban air mobility (UAM) in urban areas.
The D-LIGHT project develops design and analysis methods for small aircraft. Relevant technologies are investigated and transferred into a digital mock-up (DMU). This will lay the foundation for a climate-neutral small aircraft with a hydrogen powertrain and establish a well-connected research group at the INK.
The FGAA project is an evolution of the 2019 NASA/DLR Design Challenge. The winning concept "HyBird" with a hybrid propulsion powertrain is the starting point of the FGAA project. In addition, different energy and propulsion concepts will be quantitatively compared and the best resulting propulsion integration will be explored in more detail.
GAUSS aims to create an integrity system based on small satellites operating in low earth orbit (LEO), in particular for GPS and Galileo signals, in order to improve the safety of air mobility, e.g. air taxis.
Characteristics database and optimized production technology for small aircraft
The Project L²INK focuses on the simulation and prediction of small aircraft noise and local pollutants received on the ground within the conceptual aircraft design phase.
Flight Safety of Small Aircraft under Adverse Meteorological Conditions
With S²TOL, DLR is demonstrating a new type of aircraft configuration in flight test and, in the process, is researching a data-based verification procedure for the certification of fiber composite components.
