Fundamentals of High Lift for Future Civil Aircraft

Speaker: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rolf Radespiel

The Coordinated Research Centre 88o develops the fundamentals of active high-lift for environmentally friendly future transport aircraft.

The research is motivated by growing demands for air travel in economic zones like Europe. Sustainable growth can only be achieved here by using new means of transport, which enable efficient point-to-point connections, short runways for take-off and landing, drastic reductions of aircraft noise, and low fuel consumption. This requires fundamental research in aeroacoustics, in methodology for efficient active high-lift, and in flight dynamics.

Simulation of Wing and Nacelle Stall - FOR 1066

Speaker: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rolf Radespiel

The development and flight testing of aircrafts and aero engines represent a great engineering challenge because of high costs and risks. The outcome of these industrial processes decide about products with extreme high economic expenditures. Today's standard of numerical simulation in aerodynamics and aero engines allow the forcast, that simulations of flight at the boundaries of possible manoevres can be achieved in mid-term time frames. This is the area where the DFG research group FOR 1066 contributes with fundamental research.

Technological Foundations for the Design of Thermally and Mechanically Highly Loaded Components of Future Space Transportation Systems

Deputy Head and Coordinator Research Area B:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rolf Radespiel

Next-generation space transportation systems will be based on rocket propulsion systems which deliver the best compromise between development and production cost and performance. The SFB-TR40 focuses on liquid rocket propulsion systems and their integration into the space transportation system.
