Munich / Berlin, 16 May 2006
When the who is who from the international aviation industry meet at Berlin Air Show ILA 2006 in mid-May, "Bauhaus Luftfahrt" cannot afford to miss the occasion. The newly founded aviation think tank will be introduced for the first time to the general public.
The Bauhaus team can be found at the joint stand ‘Bayern Innovativ' (Innovative Bavaria) in hall 7, stand 7322.
In “Bauhaus Luftfahrt”, a unique institution was founded in Europe at the end of last year: the non profit-making association aims to be a visionary systems house for new, unconventional, cross-company and interdisciplinary research. This was the goal given to the association by the four founders - the Free State of Bavaria, EADS, MTU Aero Engines and Liebherr-Aerospace. Industrial and research work are to be closely interlinked under one roof and the focal points will be the technological and economic aspects of air travel in the future.
Two projects will kick off the work: The project "Hybrid Aircraft for Civil Air Transport" researches visionary flight equipment designed to meet all ecological and economic requirements of the future. The second topic, "Research into Future Trends in Aviation", has a commercial focus and aims at making strategic forecasts for the aviation industry by employing cross-branch research and analysis methods.
“Bauhaus Luftfahrt” wishes to work intensively on the promotion of talented young staff: As partner of the VDI (Association of German Engineers) initiative "Sachen machen!" (Making Things), a competition was created in which interested parties could play around with the topic "aircraft concept of the future". The project "Scribble your idea!" should motivate young people to design visionary flight equipment of the future.
