Goettingen (Germany), City of science and research, is recognised around the world for top international research and innovation. It is characterised by the high number and close proximity of research institutions across the Göttingen Campus – both inside and outside the University – linked together by inspiring and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Important foundations of modern aviation were researched in Goettingen, so the city is regarded as the cradle of modern aerodynamics. It was here in 1907 that the world‘s first national aeronautical research facility was founded. Also Ludwig Prandtl developed here the boundary layer theory, Hans Joachim Pabst von Ohain tested the precursor of the first jet engine and researchers invented the swept wing, a prerequisite for high-speed cruising flight.
Today, more than 20 wind tunnels and large-scale research facilities are available for experimental investigations. These include facilities that are unique worldwide. In addition, the DLR Goettingen together with the french Aeronautics and Space Research Center ONERA, operates the largest mobile ground vibration test facility in Europe.
So Goettingen will be a perfect place for the 2026’s IFASD.
