The DLR Design Challenge is an annual student competition organised by the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR). Launched in 2017, the competition is for students at German universities who, in teams of four to six members, develop innovative aircraft concepts based on the current state of research. The competition topic changes every year but always ties in with future-oriented aspects of aviation. Past focal topics have included firefighting aircraft, hydrogen-powered medium-haul aircraft and climate-neutral regional aircraft.
