The Institute of Electrified Aero Engines

H2ELECTRA-Flotte
Regional aircraft with fuselage-integrated and nacelle-integrated propulsion variants over the Lakes in Lusatia-region of Germany

The DLR Institute of Electrified Aero Engines was founded as part of the drive towards more climate-friendly aviation. Funded by the Structural Development Act for coal-mining regions, the institute researches more-electric, hybrid-electric and all-electric aircraft propulsion systems. The aim is to develop sustainable propulsion systems for the next generation of aircraft and thus significantly reduce emissions.

Our Mission

  • We conduct research into electrified engines for climate-friendly aviation
  • Our research focusses on more-electric, hybrid-electric and all-electric aviation propulsion systems
  • We design and test key technologies and integrated propulsion systems, analyse their environmental impact and service life and develop strategies for their safe operation
  • We operate at the interface between basic research and industrial application
  • We contribute to the structural change in Brandenburg towards becoming a high-tech location for future aviation propulsion technology
