A HUB FOR TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION

INTERNATIONAL FAIR ON AEROSPACE, FUTURE AIR MOBILITY & NEW SPACE

ZERO EMISSION & CLIMATE NEUTRAL FLYING

LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR ZERO-EMISSION AVIATION Electric flying opens up completely new possibilities to drastically reduce pollutant emissions from aircraft, if necessary, and  also to significantly reduce  noise pollution. In addition, electric drives enable completely new aircraft configurations, which should further reduce fuel consumption and thus emissions.

All in all, electric aircraft have the potential to fundamentally change mobility, as quiet and clean means of transport enable flying feeder services directly from the city centre to the nearest major airport.

HYDROGEN TECHNOLOGIES

Hydrogen as an energy storage will play a key role in transforming aviation into a zero-carbon / climate-neutral system over the next few decades.

ELECTRIC PROPULSION

Novel and disruptive aircraft, aero engine and systems innovations in combination with hydrogen technologies can help to reduce the global warming effect of flying by 50% to 90%.

ALTERNATIVE FUELS

Alternative fuels have at least the potential to be a bridging technology until completely emission-free flying is achieved.

Such alternatives can be, for example, solar fuels, fuels from biomass or biogenic kerosene additives.

NEW MATERIALS

Materials science has made great progress over the past decades. It can be expected that the pace of development will rather increase due to the social and political pressure to reduce the carbon footprint.

Which materials or multi-materials will determine the future cannot be foreseen today.

AIRTEC 2022 is the event where the latest developments are discussed.

WEIGHT REDUCTION

In aviation, weight reduction leads directly to a reduction in pollutant emissions. There are many different ways to reduce weight.

On the one hand, this can be the use of materials with improved properties.

On the other hand, for example, a fundamentally different way of constructing components in order to use the specific advantages of additive manufacturing.

NEW A/C CONCEPTS

Today and tomorrow there will be completely new concepts that will ensure more efficient, climate-friendly and climate-neutral flying.

For example, blended wing design could fundamentally change the shape of aircrafts and propfan engines promise a big reduction in fuel consumption.

FUTURE AIR MOBILITY

THE BEST WAY TO PREDICT THE FUTURE IS TO CREATE IT

ADVANCED AIR MOBILITY

Connecting Cities and Regions

Connect city centers across whole regions with affordable and green high-speed transport.

Without the need for connecting infrastructure like roads or rail, the jet will make it possible to connect every town and city within a region, at a fraction of the cost of traditional infrastructure.

UNCREWED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS (UAS)

Recent experiences with AVs have consistently demonstrated their value in a wide range of missions, and anticipated developments of AVs hold promise for increasingly significant roles in future naval operations.

Advances in AV capabilities are enabled (and limited) by progress in the technologies of computing and robotics, navigation, communications and networking, power sources and propulsion, and materials.

INFRASTRUCTURE & ATM

VERTIPORTS: Optimized landing infrastructure

Vertiports can be placed at an existing transport terminal, next to a shopping center, on top of a busy car park or alongside a suburban residential development.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE & AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS

Autonomous vehicles have been used in operations for more than 60 years, with torpedoes, cruise missiles, satellites, and target drones being early examples.

They have also been widely used in the civilian sector – for example, in the disposal of explosives, for work and measurement in radioactive environments, by various offshore industries for both creating and maintaining undersea facilities, for atmospheric and undersea research, and by industry in automated and robotic manufacturing.

LEGAL FRAMEWORK & CERTIFICATION

SECURITY: is not a product, but a process.

Uncrewed aircraft systems could lead to mid-air collisions, injury to people, and damage to property or other aircraft. It’s crucial to have an efficient uncrewed traffic.

Pushed by the steady growth in cyber air traffic, the emergence of new technologies and connectivity, air traffic management stakeholders need to get onboard the digital shift that the sector is facing. They have to meet the challenges that an increasingly complex environment creates while ensuring that the management of air traffic remains safe and efficient management (UTM) system in place that could also interact with manned aircraft operations.
