The Multifunctional Fuselage Demonstrator (MFFD) is eight metres long and four metres in diameter. This aircraft component is constructed from thermoplastic CFRP. The prototype was manufactured at DLR in Augsburg to test the innovative material and new technologies to determine their readiness for practical applications. This image shows the fuselage shell at DLR-ZLP in Augsburg shortly before it was released from its former for transport to final production.
