Long night of sciences: Discover the future of aviation in Dresden!
Dresden, Deutschland - On June 21, 2025, the Long Night of Sciences in Dresden to take a look at the future of aviation. The German Aerospace Center (DLR) was represented with several exciting activities and presentations organized by the experts: inside of the DLR Institute for Software methods for product virtualization and the DLR_School_LAB of the TU Dresden
The event offered the visitor: inside the opportunity to actively deal with various topics. Among other things, they were able to tinker their own paper aircraft, program robot and observe exciting flow channels . A special highlight was the opportunity to optimize wing profiles with the help of a computer and then print out and take it in a 3D printer -a great memory for the young researchers: Inside.
new developments in aviation research
while Dresden was tinkered and experimented, there was also great news from aviation research. The DLR has opened two new institutes in Hamburg, which specialize in digitization in aviation. These include the Institute for System Architectures in Aviation and the Institute for Maintenance and Modification , both in the Center for Applied Aviation Research (ZAL).
"These institutes bundle our research activities for digitization and expand them significantly," emphasized DLR CEO Prof. Pascale Honorary friend at the opening. The Institute for System Architectures is committed to the digital design and production of aircraft, while the Institute for Maintenance is researching new ways in maintenance and life cycle management.
DFL: A center for innovations
The German Center for Aerospace , with headquarters in Cologne-Lind, is not only a hotspot for innovative ideas, but also plays a key role in global aviation research. From basic research to applied research, the DLR deals with various areas such as aviation, space travel and digitization.
Its extensive research activities include the development of sustainable technologies, the strengthening of the competitiveness of the aviation industry and the improvement of security and environmental protection in traffic. In addition, the DLR is involved in international projects - most recently in the European satellite programs and in cooperation with partners such as NASA and ESA.
From the development of low-noise and emission flight processes to innovative solutions for hydrogen production by solar energy without CO2 emissions, the DLR has a wide range of tasks that not only designs aviation, but also the entire mobility of the future. It remains to be seen how these exciting developments will affect tomorrow's aviation and what innovative ideas the next events will bring!
