In emergency situations, rapid and efficient medical evacuation can mean the difference between
life and death. This year's DLR Design Challenge invites participants to develop innovative aircraft
concepts that improve medical evacuation (MedEvac) capabilities. These specialized aircraft must
be designed to ensure speed, stability, and patient safety, while also integrating advanced medical
equipment and optimizing fuel efficiency.
Participating teams will address a range of mission scenarios, from rapid emergency response to
long-distance medical evacuation. The challenge requires each team to design an innovative,
high-performance MedEvac aircraft that meets critical operational, medical, and cabin
requirements. Students must balance between medical transport solutions and optimal aircraft
performance across the diverse mission profiles. By integrating advanced aviation technologies,
smart medical systems, and streamlined rescue procedures, teams will develop holistic MedEvac
solutions that enhance emergency response capabilities.(Quelle: DLR)
