Design competition for the aircraft of the future - DLR and NASA acknowledge students' award-winning aircraft concepts at a joint symposium at Langley Research Center


Aerospace students are constantly coming up with new ideas, hoping to achieve a breakthrough design for the aircraft of the future. The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum fuer Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) and US space agency NASA organised a joint student competition that put two specific challenges forward: Take aviation technology in new directions with novel ideas and develop aircraft designs that reinvent passenger flight beyond the sound barrier or that are revolutionarily quiet and low-emission. The winners presented their work at a joint symposium attended by recognised aviation researchers at NASA's Langley Research Center. The German team from TU Munich won for their 'Urban Liner' concept.
