Systematic energy management for flight with electric propulsion to conserve resources (STELAR)

STELAR is a project planned for four years from 2020/21 for the development of an automatic flight control system for energy-optimised flight under consideration of atmospheric conditions as part of the Aeronautical Research Programme (LUFO VI).

It is planned to create a modular simulation environment based on models of the aerodynamics and propulsion system. This simulation environment will be used to develop a model-based, energyoptimized and thus resource-saving control system for general aviation.

Together with a planned cockpit interface development at the TU-Berlin and a planned hardware-in-the-loop flight simulation test the system shall be validated.
