DLR site Braunschweig

In order to advance the latest ideas and developments in the fields of aeronautics, transport, space and energy, researchers in Braunschweig have at their disposal road and flight test vehicles, railway laboratories, wind tunnels and more. Rotor test rigs, road and flight simulators and test rigs for materials and noise research are also available.

Researchers in Braunschweig at DLR's third largest site work in the fields of aeronautics, transport, space and energy. At its research airport, more than 1200 highly qualified employees continue the tradition of the German Aviation Research Institute (Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Luftfahrt; DFL), which was founded in 1936.

High-performance road and flight test vehicles as well as flying simulators, air traffic simulation facilities, road and flight simulators, a railway laboratory, wind tunnels, mobile rotor test rigs and test rigs for materials and noise research are available for experimental investigations. Together with DLR’s Oberpfaffenhofen site, DLR Braunschweig is home to the largest fleet of research aircraft in Europe.

Systemhaus Technik is also present at the DLR site in Braunschweig. This organisational unit specialises in building scientific equipment and focuses on the development and manufacture of complex one-off products. Systemhaus Technik strives to be an active partner in support of science in all phases of project execution.

Aeronautics and transport research are the two main areas of focus at DLR's Braunschweig site, where the DLR_School_Lab Braunschweig introduces its young visitors to its ongoing projects.

Aeronautics and transport research are the two main areas of focus at DLR's Braunschweig site, where the DLR_School_Lab introduces its young visitors to its ongoing projects. Here, pupils can take on the role of an air traffic controller, test new driver assistance systems in the simulator, or even embark on a virtual flight to the International Space Station (ISS).
