The National Test Centre for Unmanned Aviation Systems and UAS research at the DLR. Further information about our institute can be found on pages 58–59.
The latest issue of DLR Magazine is now online. The magazine links research with social issues – fresh from DLR, prepared by scientists. Can this fish fly? On the last page, you will find exciting information about the Digital Hanger and the answer to the question.
The latest issue contains two articles about the work at the institute. The first article focuses on the challenges and opportunities of future aviation, while the second article is dedicated to the requirements of a future-orientated supply chain.
The aeroplanes of the future must be both climate-friendly and affordable. The DLR Institute of System Architectures in Aeronautics in Hamburg is researching what they could look like and which technologies will power them.
The latest issue presents two articles of SL's work: one on the institute's research project ALICIA and its overall assessment of the climate impact in the air transport system, and one on the Hybird demonstrator that has been developed to model hydrogen flight.
Article on the Institute of System Architectures in Aeronautics' projects, such as collaborative digital engineering, automated manufacturing and next generation aviation concepts.
Who decides on the appearance of the products that we use? Who designs them? The development of new products is not necessarily dictated from above: designers can enter into direct dialogue with users and allow them to help shape the development process. This collaborative approach is known as codesign.
When manufacturers such as Airbus plan a new aircraft, they do so behind closed doors. Of course, they do not want their competitors to know which ground-breaking technologies they might be incorporating into the design.
Future aircraft must be as climate friendly and quiet as possible – without compromising comfort. New cabin concepts could help meet these requirements.
