ZAL_YB-2017

The work of the Institute of Maintenance, Repair, and
Overhaul, focused on new maintenance and data analysis
methods, slots right in with Industry 4.0, another core topic
for many project teams at the TechCenter. The interaction
between our teams and the experts from other companies
and organizations is sure to enrich and enhance the work
and contribution of both institutes.
The long-term viability of the aviation industry depends on
the rapid development of excellent innovative industrial
products and processes – and not only in Hamburg. Competition
is intense. Hamburg wants to build on its leading position
as a development, integration, and final assembly location
for the aerospace industry. This means extending the city′s
existing research competence and innovative strength. The
new status as an official DLR base acknowledges the efforts
and achievements of existing DLR facilities. New potential
has now been created with the two new institutes, resident
at ZAL since November 2017.
DIGITALIZATION AND AERONAUTICAL RESEARCH
The two institutes focus on the ›digital aircraft‹
in the fields of system architecture and MRO
FACTS & INFORMATION
Hamburg and the German Aerospace Center – a perfect fit.
I am therefore delighted that we at DLR can play our part
in the lasting development of Hamburg and in the thriving
dynamism of ZAL. The TechCenter has been so successful
already in the year since it opened, making a name for itself
in international aeronautical research. Keep it coming!
PROF. PASCALE EHRENFREUND
Chair of the DLR Executive Board
»We are delighted that we are now represented in Hamburg, one of the
biggest hub′s of civil aviation worldwide, with two newly established DLR
institutes and to closely cooperate in ZAL with our industry partners, in
the field of application-oriented research.«
