At DLR engines are investigated in various ways
The engine is the heart of the aircraft's propulsion system. At DLR, it is put through its paces: digitally on the computer and in real life on test benches such as the M2VP (multistage twin-shaft axial compressor test bench) at the Institute of Propulsion Technology in Cologne. -

Video: Évora Molten Salt Platform (EMSP) – The next generation of solar thermal parabolic trough power plants
Parabolic trough power plants convert solar energy into heat and then into electricity. To do this, they concentrate sunlight with long mirror troughs arranged in rows. Using solar power they heat a thermal transfer medium, which can then be used immediately or stored for later.
