  • Annual press conference DLR 2023 in Berlin

    New re­search air­craft for cli­mate-friend­ly flight, new wind en­er­gy re­search farm and green light for the Start­up Fac­to­ry

    March 1, 2023
    In 2023, the Ger­man Aerospace Cen­ter (DLR) will pro­vide sig­nif­i­cant re­search sup­port for the de­vel­op­ment and rapid ap­pli­ca­tion of sus­tain­able tech­nolo­gies. The aim is to make the best pos­si­ble use of in­no­va­tions in aero­nau­tics, space, en­er­gy, trans­port, and se­cu­ri­ty to tran­si­tion to­wards a cli­mate-neu­tral so­ci­ety.
  • DLR Challenge 2022

    Ur­ban Green Track­er and Drive­Clean win Coper­ni­cus Mas­ters Chal­lenges 2022

    December 2, 2022
    This year, the Ger­man Aerospace Cen­ter (Deutsches Zen­trum für Luft- und Raum­fahrt; DLR) has the plea­sure of con­grat­u­lat­ing two win­ners on their suc­cess in the Coper­ni­cus Mas­ters com­pe­ti­tion. The an­nu­al in­no­va­tion com­pe­ti­tion hon­ours ap­pli­ca­tions and ideas that use satel­lite da­ta from the Coper­ni­cus Earth ob­ser­va­tion pro­gramme to ad­dress so­ci­etal and en­vi­ron­men­tal chal­lenges. More than 20 in­di­vid­u­al prizes as well as the over­all Coper­ni­cus Mas­ters 2022 prize were award­ed on 1 De­cem­ber 2022 at the New Space Econ­o­my Ex­po in Rome. There, the Lux­em­bourg start-up WEO won the DLR Chal­lenge on ‘En­vi­ron­ment, En­er­gy and Health’ with its ‘Ur­ban Green Track­er’. Hart­mut Runge's DLR team was award­ed the spe­cial prize from the Fed­er­al Min­istry for Dig­i­tal and Trans­port (BMDV) for their ‘Drive­Clean’.

    Re­search for re­li­able and se­cure ar­ti­fi­cial in­tel­li­gence

    November 22, 2022
    Ar­ti­fi­cial in­tel­li­gence (AI) is used, for in­stance, in trans­port sys­tems, in aerospace and in en­er­gy sup­ply. It has been part of ev­ery­day life in mod­ern so­ci­ety for a long time - and as dig­i­tal­i­sa­tion ad­vances, AI be­comes all the more im­por­tant: it must be both se­cure and trans­par­ent. In an ef­fort to strength­en re­search and de­vel­op­ment in this area, the Ger­man Aerospace Cen­ter (DLR) has es­tab­lished the In­sti­tute for AI Safe­ty and Se­cu­ri­ty. The DLR in­sti­tute has now been of­fi­cial­ly opened with its two lo­ca­tions in Ulm and Sankt Au­gustin.

    DL­R­magazine 171 – Awak­en­ing the sleep­ing gi­ant

    November 21, 2022
    Heat pumps, ther­mal wind en­er­gy sys­tems and the use of lime for heat stor­age, DLR sci­en­tists are con­duct­ing re­search in var­i­ous ar­eas for the en­er­gy tran­si­tion. The cov­er sto­ry in this is­sue of the DL­R­magazine gives an overview of the dif­fer­ent as­pects and po­ten­tial of heat. This DL­R­magazine al­so fea­tures a 'League of ex­traor­di­nary robots' and the ques­tion of why the Arc­tic is warm­ing up much faster than the rest of the plan­et.
  • ZEDU-1 on the test track

    ZE­DU-1 – The world's most en­vi­ron­ment-friend­ly ve­hi­cle in op­er­a­tion

    September 28, 2022
    As part of its Ze­ro Emis­sion Drive Unit – Gen­er­a­tion 1 (ZE­DU-1) project – DLR and the en­gi­neer­ing com­pa­ny HWA have de­vel­oped and suc­cess­ful­ly test­ed a road ve­hi­cle that en­ables mo­bil­i­ty al­most en­tire­ly with­out emis­sions.

    The fu­ture of rail trans­port – Tech­nolo­gies for to­mor­row

    September 16, 2022
    State-of-the-art, af­ford­able, cli­mate and en­vi­ron­ment-friend­ly rail trans­port plays a cen­tral role in the mo­bil­i­ty tran­si­tion. On­ly an at­trac­tive of­fer will bring more peo­ple and goods on­to the rail­ways.

    A high-tech run­ning gear for the train of the fu­ture

    September 13, 2022
    The run­ning gear of a train is a key fac­tor for fast, re­li­able, safe and com­fort­able rail trans­port. The Ger­man Aerospace Cen­ter (DLR) is work­ing on a new, run­ning gear de­sign for the fu­ture as part of its Next Gen­er­a­tion Train (NGT) con­cept, with each wheel driv­en in­di­vid­u­al­ly and con­trolled with smart tech­nol­o­gy.

    Re­think­ing old tech­nolo­gies – Slip coach­ing and vir­tu­al cou­pling

    August 30, 2022
    Mov­ing a great deal of our trans­port from the roads on­to the rails will ben­e­fit the cli­mate in fu­ture. Over the last 10 years, the Ger­man Aerospace Cen­ter (DLR) has been work­ing on new ideas to make rail trans­port more at­trac­tive for car­ry­ing both pas­sen­gers and freight.

    DL­R­magazine 170 – Com­pute be­fore flight

    May 25, 2022
    Mod­ern en­gines should be low-emis­sion and qui­et, but still reach high speeds. For decades, DLR's aero­nau­tics in­sti­tutes have been work­ing to im­prove them. In this mag­a­zine, two DLR re­searchers dis­cuss the role that the vir­tu­al en­gine could play in the fu­ture. This is­sue in­cludes an overview of bedrest stud­ies con­duct­ed to in­ves­ti­gate space sick­ness and in­tro­duces a parabol­ic trough test fa­cil­i­ty through which molten salt flows.

    May 25, 2022
    The Ger­man Aerospace Cen­ter (Deutsches Zen­trum für Luft- und Raum­fahrt; DLR) will be pre­sent­ing tech­nolo­gies, in­no­va­tions and suc­cess­ful trans­fer and spin-off projects at Han­nover Messe 2022.
