As aeronautics goes increasingly digital, how will simulations and experiments complement each other in the future?

18 May 2021
Prof. Dr. Stefan Görtz was in charge of DLR's VicToria project - the largest of its kind ever to be conducted of digitisation in European aeronautics research. In this interview, he explains the methods the project partners in VicToria have developed to evaluate new technologies for more economical and environment-friendly flight in a more timely manner in the future and to enable new aircraft to be designed (almost) exclusively using computers.
