(Lectures in German)

For a long time the A400 was considered a problem at Airbus. Deadlines could not be met due to technical hurdles and the rising cost of the project kept the A400M in the headlines for a long time. Originally planned as a traditional military transport aircraft, requirements increased over the years. With regard to comparable aircraft types, payload and range had to double. Today, the complex project includes parachute and load capabilities, air refuelling and unpaved runway operations. The A400M thus became a mammoth project, requiring cutting edge technology. In the meantime, it proved itself in military and humanitarian operations following natural disasters.
At this round table, four presentations and a panel discussion will show what the A400M can do, what challenges the development teams had to master, what was really behind the headlines in the media, and what services the A400M can provide now and in the future. Representatives from the A400M Chief Engineering and Flight Testing departments at Airbus will provide insights into the design, development and testing, and the German Air Force will report on its introduction into the air force and operational experience.

Come and meet us in Bremen, discover the flight test phase and technical developments and find out what is really behind the A400M.

RAeS lecture in cooperation with DGLR, HAW Hamburg & VDI

If the age of spaceflight started with the Sputnik flight in 1957, we observe that the age of premieres of the first fifteen years was followed by longer period of consolidation and industrialisation. Although humans have not travelled beyond the Moon (or even back to the Moon, yet), global space business (excluding the downstream services) exceeds nowadays €80bn a year. However impressive, this figure depends on a business model in which every kilogram of required hardware or resource is brought from Earth, which raises questions about its sustainability and growth potential.
It is in this context that all major space powers are heading back to the Moon. The possibility of extracting raw materials, resources and – above all – rocket propellant, is what drives the US, Russia, China and others to prospect and settle around the lunar south pole.
The presentation will outline the lunar programme of NASA and ESA, and introduce a few thoughts about Europe’s options for projecting influence and protecting its stake in a quest shaped by both co-operation and competition.

Vortrag der HAW Hamburg in Kooperation with DGLR, RAeS & VDI

Die Fw200 Condor, ein viermotoriges Langstrecken- Passagierflugzeug zählte 1937 zu den modernsten Passagierflugzeugen der Welt. Sie war die größte Passagiermaschine, die in Bremen komplett konstruiert und gebaut wurde.
Erstkunde war die Deutsche Lufthansa; der Erstflug erfolgte nach nur zweijähriger Entwicklungszeit am 9. September 1937. Die CONDOR stellte diverse Langstreckenrekorde auf, unter anderem den ersten Non- Stop- Transatlantikflug am 10.08.1938 nach New York. Dieses Flugzeug war eine technologische Spitzenleistung in der deutschen Luftfahrtindustrie. Es zeichnete sich durch modernste Technologie, so z.B. die Glattblech-Schalenbauweise mit ausgezeichneter Aerodynamik aus.
Es gilt als Vorläufer einer Generation von Verkehrsflugzeugen, die den zivilen Luftverkehr bis zum heutigen Tage prägen. Ziel der Restaurierung ist es, eine komplett restaurierte, nicht flugfähige, aber rollfähige CONDOR im Deutschen Technik Museum Berlin ausstellen zu können. Diese erfolgte in einer Kooperation von Airbus Bremen, Deutschem Technikmuseum Berlin, Lufthansa Berlin-Stiftung in Hamburg Fuhlsbüttel und Rolls Royce Deutschland in Oberursel.

DGLR lecture in cooperation with RAeS, HAW-Hamburg & VDI

Flüssiges Wasser ist ein Universalstoff und kommt auf überraschend vielen Körpern unseres Sonnensystems vor. Hierbei nimmt die Erde als Wasserplanet einen besonderen Raum ein; die Erkundung ihrer Meerestiefen ähnelt der Raumfahrt. Auch der heutige Wüstenplanet Mars besaß in seiner bewegten Frühzeit einen Urozean und ausgedehnte Fluss-Systeme, deren ausgetrocknete Verläufe noch sichtbar sind.

Darüber hinaus gibt es zahlreiche Hinweise auf Wasserozeane unter den Eiskrusten von verschiedenen Monden der Riesenplaneten - insbesondere beim Jupitermond Europa und dem Saturnmond Enceladus.

Überdies gilt flüssiges Wasser als zentrale Voraussetzung für die Entstehung von Leben, was gerade im Hinblick auf den Mars verstärkt diskutiert wird.
