Airplane Maintenance — HALO Gulfstream G 550
The German Aerospace Center wants to authorise a supplier in order to carry out the maintenance services for the research aircraft HALO Gulfstream G 550 within a period of 4 years.
The new HALO (High Altitude and Long Range Research Aircraft) research aircraft heralds a new chapter in the history of German atmospheric research and Earth observation. HALO is based on a Gulfstream G 550 ultra-long range business jet. The combination of range, cruising altitude, payload and comprehensive instrumentation make the aircraft a globally unique research platform.
In almost all important parameters, HALO exceeds the performance of research aircraft operating worldwide until now: with a cruising altitude of more than 15 kilometres, a payload of up to three tons and a range of more than 8 000 kilometres, for the first time measurements can now be carried out on a continental scale, at all latitudes, from the tropics to the poles, and at altitudes as high as the lower stratosphere. As a result, it will be possible to answer scientific questions relating to areas that were inaccessible to previous research aircraft, especially the Falcon operated by the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR).
The HALO research aircraft was delivered on 21.1.2009 and landed at Oberpfaffenhofen after a non-stop transatlantic flight from Savannah, USA. It is now available to both DLR — as the keeper of the aircraft — other research centres in the Helmholtz Association (Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft; HGF), universities, institutes of the Max Planck Society (Max-Planck-Gesellschaft; MPG) and other scientific establishments for investigations in the field of atmospheric research.
