DLR in Augsburg

At the DLR site in Augsburg, around 80 staff members work on making the future of air travel quieter, reducing harmful emissions and developing modern materials for spaceflight. Researchers assess individual aircraft components, such as new engine technologies, using digital models that are then experimentally validated. They also develop automated production methods for lightweight components.
