The main focus in Diabolo is the design of a generic Future Fighter Demonstrator (DLR-FFD) to capture technological gaps and to demonstrate the design and assessment capabilities of the methods and processes developed at DLR.

2024年3月30日 · Scientists from the German Aerospace Center DLR have made significant progress in creating a new sixth-generation fighter jet, according to the Bulgarian Military portal. The aircraft, named DLR-FFD Devil (in English, "devil"), is currently a hot topic of discussion. Here's what we know so far.

The DLR Future Fighter Demonstrator (FFD) is a highly agile, two-seated aircraft with twin-engines equipped, a reheat and a design flight speed extending into the supersonic regime (up to Ma=2.0). Based on a given conceptual design, the presented work focuses on the aeroelastic modeling, including structures, masses and aerodynamics.
