The activities of the FRG aerospace research organization DFVLR for 1987 are reported. In the research field of aeronautics, investigations were performed on Compas (a planning and decision aid for air traffic controllers) and on a delta wing (a contribution to the International Vortex Flow Experiment). Space-related activities were the German Front Experiment 1987 (an example for the mesoscale probing of the atmosphere) and wind tunnel testing of reentry bodies in the hypersonic range. In the field of energy technology, renewable energy sources for Baden-Wuerttemberg were investigated. Photographs, drawings, and diagrams are provided, and an English summary is given for each section.
