During the public days from May 23 to 25, 2014, private visitors had the opportunity to take a look at several aircrafts of DLR’s research fleet. The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan of DLR’s flight facility in Oberpfaffenhofen was presented together with an Airbus A320 and an Eurocopter BO 105 of DLR’s flight facility in Braunschweig at the outside exhibition area. Interested visitors could see the plane, as well as the 3K camera system of the project VABENE++ up close and get information about current research activities.
The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan with its identification D-FDLR is the smallest aircraft of DLR's flight facility in Oberpfaffenhofen. This single-engine turboprop aircraft is mainly used by DLR for remote sensing. It is especially well suited for camera flights, such as those with the 3K camera system of VABENE++.
