                    Research topics

                    The DLR Institute of Air Transport researches the complex interrelationships within the air transport system – from economic and operational aspects to climate and environmental impacts, as well as new technologies and energy carriers. Our focus topics provide an insight into current research areas and projects aimed at achieving sustainable and economically viable aviation.

                    Air Transport Forecast

                    Precise air transport forecasts and data-based analyses for the strategic planning and development of air traffic.

                    Climate-Compatible Flying

                    The DLR Institute of Air Transport analyses solutions for climate-compatible aviation – from reducing emissions to new technologies, sustainable fuels, and effective policy measures.

                    Optimisation of Flight Trajectories

                    How can aviation become more climate-compatible? The DLR Institute of Air Transport investigates how optimised flight trajectories can reduce emissions and climate impacts.

                    Markets and Regulation in Air Transport

                    Our researchers analyse markets and regulation in air transport and assess their impact on competition, efficiency and sustainable development—providing a basis for decision-making in policy and industry.
