The aircraft made its first flight 23-Mar-1978 as D-BABP. Between 1981 and 1986 DLR and MBB designed and developed the ATTAS - Advanced Technologies Testing Aircraft System with many experimental research installations among which the large airflow sensor on the nose. In Sep-1985 it was reregistered D-ADAM and in 1986 it started its research testbed career. Its last flight was made 07-Dec-2012 to the Deutsches Museum Flugwerft Schleissheim where it went on display. It has small ILA and DLR markings on the front fuselage.
