Abstract	A couple of on-going and new projects at the Insitute of Flight Systems were shown, including Inflight-Wake-Vortex-Simulation with the ATTAS aircraft, the Electronic Flight Control System Rig (EFCS) which can be used to test new control surface actuators in a real time simulation, flight control concepts for Blended Wing Body aircraft configurations, integration and evaluation of tactile feedback sidesticks into DLR’s research helicopter FHS and helicopter slung load operations. In the field of UAV research, simulations of self-organizing formation flight for aircraft using classical swarming rules were shown. A brief introduction of the UAV rotorcraft maxiARTIS was given, extensions of the identified flight mechanics models to include ground interaction were made. Concluding the presentation, a video of the now operational coupled hardware-in-the-loop simulation for Manned-Unmanned-Teaming Scenarios was shown. In this simulation environment, the ARTIS rotorcraft UAV can be controlled directly from the cockpit of DLR’s FHS helicopter.
