The Red Bull Air Race World Champion series is flown on locations throughout the world and one of the most challenging aerial sports. The pilots and aircraft have to perform split-second aerobatic manoevers at air speeds of up to 360 km/h and accelerations of up to 12g.
The HALO project is based on an initiative of the entire German atmospheric
science community.
HALO, a highly modified Gulfstream G550, is the next generation atmospheric research aircraft of the German Aerospace Center DLR.
The concept behind HALO is to provide an optimal platform for airborne atmospheric
science and earth observation, a well-equipped flying laboratory that allows the
scientists onboard to completely focus on their own experiment.
The Unlimited Aerobatic Flight Simulator (UAFS) is a joint project between the Institute of Flight Systems of the German Aerospace Center DLR
in Braunschweig and Stock Flight Systems.
Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy - SOFIA
NASA and the German Aerospace Center DLR,
are working together to create SOFIA - a Boeing 747SP aircraft modified
by L-3 Communications to accommodate an optical telescope with a
reflecting surface of 2.5m at the primary mirror. The Observatory is being developed for NASA and DLR by a team of German and American industry experts led by the NASA Dryden Flight
Research Center. SOFIA makes extensive use of CANaerospace and a number of Network Extended Control System (NECS) computers developed by Stock Flight Systems.
Stock Flight Systems has been selected by Kayser- Threde as the supplier of the mission critical Main Telescope Electronics (MTE) for the Sunrise telescope.
