Progress in aviation research - quieter flying with less environmental impact
17 February 2010
One of the primary objectives of the aviation research team at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is to make flying quieter and to reduce its environmental impact. DLR came a step closer to this goal with the culmination of the FAGI (Future Air Ground Integration) project. In the future, a modified flight approach procedure with improved environmental credentials should help cut noise levels and save fuel. |
