In the run-up to this year's JEC World's Leading Trade Fair for Composite Materials in Paris, the prototype of a sustainable house wall developed in the BMBF-funded DACCUSS-Pre project was honoured.

The Department of Flight Mechanics, Flight Control and Aeroelasticity (FMRA) of TU Berlin is developing a flight demonstrator with high aspect ratio transport aircraft configuration, TU-Flex. The DLR ...

What makes the Federal Aviation Research Programme (LuFo Klima) so successful and how can companies benefit from it? On this page we present some success stories. Carbon fibre reinforced plastics ...

Saving weight is an effective way of making aeroplanes more efficient and sustainable. Christian Garthaus is convinced of this. "For every kilo that we make a large commercial aircraft lighter, we ...

At MTU Aero Engines in Munich, the fact that research and development are the basic prerequisites for efficient and sustainable aviation in the future is a matter of course. And the LuFo programme has ...

Carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) are amazing materials. They are strong and rigid, yet extremely light. No wonder they have been used in aviation for some time now. At Braunschweig-based ...

The fact that sensors in all kinds of devices collect all kinds of data is nothing new in itself. They have also been doing this in aircraft cabins for a long time. The functions of the coffee machine ...

The demands placed on modern aircraft engines are high. They need to be powerful. And efficient. And, of course, as low in emissions as possible. To master this balancing act, Rolls-Royce is driving ...

Im Vorfeld der diesjährigen JEC Weltleitmesse für Composite-Materialien in Paris ist der Prototyp einer nachhaltigen Hauswand ausgezeichnet worden, welche im BMBF-geförderten DACCUSS-Pre Projekt ...

On 4 January 2025, our colleague of many years, Prof Dr Robert Sausen, passed away unexpectedly at the age of just 69. Robert Sausen was born in Lissingen in the Eifel in 1955 and attended the Cusanus ...

The results obtained also serve to validate corresponding simulations for damage prediction. At the same time, new measurement methods are to be developed to detect gear damage during operation. GRACE ...

DLR scientist Veronika Eyring has received the prestigious AGU Ambassador Award 2024 and is inducted as an AGU Fellow. The award recognises Eyring's outstanding contributions to climate science, the ...
