RESUME

Dr. Martin Lindner is a researcher at TU Dresden, specializing in aircraft performance and trajectory optimization in the context of sustainable and efficient aviation since 2015. He is a postdoctoral researcher in the RTG AirMetro program, where he leads interdisciplinary collaborations. Additionally, he serves as the head of the Skylab at TU Dresden, focusing on a broad spectrum of topics, including drone and VTOL aircraft technology, logistics, traffic planning, and sensor systems. As a lecturer, he actively contributes to teaching in the field of air transport. He co-teaches the foundational course Air Transport Systems and leads the Airline Management course, where he inspires students to explore creativity and technological innovation.

Before joining academia, he gained industry experience at DFS, Lufthansa, and airberlin. His research has been published in renowned scientific journals and received international recognition. He is also an active reviewer for journals such as MDPI and CEAS. In his free time, Martin enjoys restoring his classic car and working on creative timber construction projects.

RESEARCH PROJECTS

RTG AirMetro: - (active) Research Training Group with 33 doctoral projects along with associated projects at participating professorships focussing on AAM

Air-Take-Off - (active) Collision avoidance between drones and manned aviation with the application case of air take-off in the Lausitz region

SmartFly - Explores how urban air mobility can enhance regional connectivity and support a sustainable, multimodal transport system

RescueFLY - Drone-based water rescue

ReMAP - Risk analysis and conflict resolution of multi-criteria coupled approach and departure procedures within a comprehensive parameter space with the support of high-performance computing

ProfiFuel - Improved planning and realization of trajectories with minimum ecological footprint and fuel burn

MEFUL - Minimization of emissions in flight operations with guaranteed operational safety as a contribution to an environmentally friendly air transport system

DISSERTATION

Martin Lindner's PhD research focused on tail-sign optimized aircraft scheduling. By analyzing performance deviations caused by engine wear, structural fatigue, configuration differences, and varying empty weights, he developed models to integrate these factors into operational planning. His work aimed to reduce costs and fuel consumption while enhancing the environmental efficiency of air transport.
