On 12 April 2024, Falko Mohrs was a guest at Braunschweig Research Airport. At the Institute of Jet Propulsion and Turbomachinery, he was able to see the progress being made by the SE²A Cluster of Excellence in sustainable aviation. The programme included current research highlights such as progress in reducing drag through laminar support, active load reduction in flight and new results on electric propulsion. The programme also included a tour of the laboratories and test beds, including innovative distributed propeller drives. SE²A spokesperson Professor Jens Friedrichs emphasised the importance of the cluster’s interdisciplinary research approach. This is the only way to make real progress for the flying of tomorrow. The Technical University of Braunschweig is currently preparing an application to continue the cluster.
