Technology test vehicle for unmanned flight - SAGITTA successfully completes first flight


The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum fuer Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR), in tandem with project leader Airbus Defence and Space, has successfully flight tested a new aircraft as part of the development of future production-ready drones (UAVs, unmanned aerial vehicles). The unmanned, jet-powered technology demonstrator with the project name SAGITTA flew fully autonomously for some seven minutes on a pre-programmed course at the test site in Overberg, South Africa. The innovative flying-wing construction demonstrated excellent flight characteristics during the test. This flight marked the successful completion of the first test phase, which also comprised an extensive series of ground tests.

Reducing aircraft noise - Active rotor control to reduce noise and vibration


Under some operating conditions, rotors are the main source of noise produced by a helicopter. To reduce this noise and the simultaneous vibrations, the German Aerospace Centre (Deutsches Zentrum fuer Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR), together with Airbus Helicopters Deutschland, has tested active rotor control on a modern, five-blade rotor in a wind tunnel as part of the SKAT (Scalability and risk minimisation of technology) research project. The result was an approximately 30 percent reduction in noise.
