Bringing together the competences of over 30 Fraunhofer institutes, Fraunhofer AVIATION & SPACE conducts applied research in the field of aerospace industry.

Aerospace industry applications and services have become an indispensable part of daily life, underpinning the significant impact of aerospace technologies on everyone’s economic and socio-political life. The importance of aerospace for our daily life becomes clear when you take a closer look: aviation means global mobility and thus creates the conditions for cultural and economic networking. Space applications are used to detect illegal logging or pollution; to clarify connections between climatic changes and circumstances that are harmful to health, which can also be used to create scenarios for possible pandemics; or to exchange news globally in real time. Mobility, networking, environmental protection, resilience, communication - these are only five of numerous socially relevant aerospace topics that Fraunhofer AVIATION & SPACE institutes deal with.
