DLR ISTAR research aircraft

DLR ISTAR research aircraft
The In-flight Systems and Technology Airborne Research (ISTAR) aircraft is part of the DLR research fleet. Once it has been fully upgraded, it will be able to test characteristics of new aircraft designs, real or virtual, crewed or uncrewed, under real operating conditions. The ISTAR demonstrator at the Paris Air Show shows the sensor technology and instrumentation with a live evaluation of the vibration behaviour as it is in the ISTAR research aircraft.
