Uncrewed stratospheric aircraft, also known as high-altitude platforms (HAPs), offer a sustainable alternative to satellites for Earth observation and communication tasks. HAPs can be manufactured and ...
DLR has developed new aircraft wings capable of changing shape during flight. Artificial intelligence controls the wings and automatically adjusts them, even in the event of disturbances. The goal is ...
The world's first in-flight measurements of contrails from a hydrogen-powered turbojet engine have been conducted. The measurements provide new insights into the climate impact of contrails produced ...
The German Space Agency at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the US space agency NASA are continuing their gravity field measurements from space with the 'Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment - ...
Solar panel maps for the whole of Germany can aid policy makers. The model identifies the orientation of roofs and determines potential energy output based on the hours of sunshine. All publicly ...
Soot emissions alone cannot explain the formation of contrails, as recent atmospheric research findings show. With extremely low-sulphur fuels, volatile organic compounds and lubricating oil vapours ...
