ATTAS - 20 years of flying for research
The ATTAS research aircraft (Advanced Technologies Testing Aircraft System) has been flying for the German Aerospace Center (DLR) for 20 years. "It may be an old aircraft, but it has state-of-the-art technology. It enables us to try things that a modern Airbus 380 simply would not be able to," says DLR staff member Hayung Becker.
By using computer simulations, ATTAS can simulate the flight performance of other, larger, aircraft.
