Visualisation of ascending air masses over the Atlantic Ocean

Vi­su­al­i­sa­tion of as­cend­ing air mass­es over the At­lantic Ocean

Visualisation of a forecast created by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). On display are rising air masses (coloured lines) that reach the jet stream (green surface) over northern Europe. The visualisation was created using ‘Met.3D’.

Simulation of Lilienthal's flight in the wind tunnel

Sim­u­la­tion of Lilien­thal's flight in the wind tun­nel

Various scenarios were simulated in the wind tunnel tests, in particular Lilienthal's fateful flight from Gollenberg on 9 August 1896. In the lower left corner of the image is the angle of alignment of the front of the glider with the wind. The CP scale on the right side describes the air resistance.

Flow measurement in the wind tunnel

Flow mea­sure­ment in the wind tun­nel

The measurement data of different wind angles are transmitted to a 3D model. Based on these data, the flight capability and stability of Lilienthal's glider was confirmed by DLR.

Automated air transport of large cargo

Au­to­mat­ed air trans­port of large car­go

An unmanned aircraft carrying about one ton of payload should be able to deliver, for example, humanitarian goods over a distance of up to 600 kilometres. Project ALAADY (Automated Low Altitude Air Delivery) aims at conducting the first test flights with drones at the end of 2017.

Digitalisation is key for DLR's major research areas: aeronautics, space, energy, transport and the cross-sectoral area of security. With the adoption of the 2030 Strategy, the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) has expanded its portfolio with the new cross-sectoral area of digitalisation.
