Emission-free flight – DLR takes delivery of its new ‘Do 288’ research aircraft D-CEFD

At the COP26 UN Climate Conference held recently in Glasgow, numerous countries reaffirmed the target of making air transport climate-neutral by the middle of this century. One important step in this direction will be the development of hybrid-electric propulsion systems for aircraft on feeder and regional routes. The DLR ‘Do 228’ research aircraft D-CEFD will … Continue reading Emission-free flight – DLR takes delivery of its new ‘Do 288’ research aircraft D-CEFD
