Abstract	Introduction – the Fundamental Pillars of ULTRA • TUHH Knowledge flight physics, system identification, development processes & tools • Use in Teaching „making aircraft visible“ project-based learning (PBL) • Inter-/national Cooperation collaboration & exchange with university partners • Aspects of Research „Highly Automated Flight“, flight and systems automation ULTRA Flight Test Infrastructure • Test Aircraft and Avionic Concept on Board, on Gound, Concept of Safety Pilot • Micro Message Bus: Simplify distribution and access to all kind of data, No hard-coded resource map-ping (i.e. H/W addresses, IP addresses…)  Configuration • Executable Building Block Networks: Simplify common data conversion and data processing tasks, Real-time capable, cross-platform to be used on different operating systems, Scalable, easy to setup / configurable Research Topics using ULTRA • SP1-LimitFlight: safe guidance along the flight envelope limits • SP2-AutoLand: automated landing considering system faults • SP3-HealthMan: Integrated Vehicle Health Management • Low-cost Air Data System for UAV Research • Monitoring of small Electro-Mechanical Actuators PBL Teaching using ULTRA • Project-based learning is a dynamic teaching approach in which students actively explore real-world problems and challenges and acquire a deeper knowledge. • The core idea of project-based learning is that real-world problems capture students' interest and pro-voke serious thinking as the students acquire and apply new knowledge in a problem-solving context • It emphasizes learning activities that are long-term, interdisciplinary and student-centered. The teacher plays the role of facilitator! • Working with students to frame worthwhile questions, structuring meaningful tasks, coaching both knowledge development and social skills, carefully assessing what students have learned from the ex-perience.
