The DLR Institute of Electrified Aero Engines was founded in 2020 at DLR's Cottbus site with funding from the Structural Strengthening Act for Coal Regions. Its research focuses on low-emission, ...

ESA project astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski is staying for about a week in DLR's aerospace medicine facility after his return from the Space Station. The living quarters and labs are equipped to ...

The Institute of Flight Systems (FT) has been active in the topics of flight mechanics and measurement and system technology of all flying systems at the DLR site Braunschweig since 1953.

The HAP-alpha flight platform was fitted with electromechanical vibrators to identify its vibration characteristics. The image shows a side view along the wing of the aircraft.

A particular challenge of the Ground Vibration Test (GVT) on the high-altitude platform – HAP-alpha – was its extremely lightweight and therefore highly flexible design. The aircraft's construction ...

ESA-Projektastronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski und Ax-4 Missionsspezialist mit einem Experiment auf der Internationalen Raumstation ISS. Nach 19 Tagen auf der ISS ist der polnische ...

The HAP-alpha flight platform was fitted with electromechanical shakers to identify its vibration characteristics.

During the Ground Vibration Test, numerous sensors were used to record the dynamic properties of the platform – including acceleration sensors mounted on its electric motors.

After eight days, the study concluded and the six participants regained contact with the outside world. Final interviews and examinations now follow. As part of ESA's SOLIS8 isolation study, three men ...

For around 20 years, DLR institutes have been working on new approaches to engine construction, from propellers to innovative open-fan concepts. Read more about their advantages and disadvantages in ...
