Numerical Methods and Experimental Means for the Integration of Future Propulsion Systems

Fritz Boden is Researcher at DLR Göttingen where he works for the development of optical measurement techniques for in-flight application and optical measurements in rotating systems, furthermore he is involved in the development of flight test instrumentation for aeroacoustic measurements. He was coordinator of the AIM and AIM² projects, managed the XDC demonstrator within CS2 LPA and is managing the DLR work within the Clean Aviation projects OFELIA and COMPANION. During AIM and AIM² he served as volume editor and chapter author of the book “Advanced In-Flight Measurement Techniques” (Springer, 2013, ISBN 978-3-642-34737-5). In parallel to the organization of a dedicated workshop for researchers and industrial flight test engineers, he published the book “AIM² - Advanced Flight Testing Workshop” (BoD Books on Demand, 2013, ISBN 978-3-7322-3740-1).
