With the highly renowned keynote speakers, Dr Terry Wohlers, Greg Morris, Ralph Resnick and Dr Claudio Dalle Donne the dynamic organizers of AIRTEC were able to receive one of the highly qualified and world-wide renowned experts for the topic additive manufacturing in the aerospace industry. This circle of experts is leading in this future-oriented and very promising technology for the aerospace industry. Tool parts, which are not any more manufactured in a conventional way, but with 3-D print processes are currently also conquering the aerospace industry. At AIRTEC these experts will report what is the current state of the art and what can be achieved already tomorrow.

Norbert Schröder from SPACE Germany will explain at the Aerospace Supply Chain Summit, how he himself and his colleagues work ordered by AIRBUS, to create the co-operation between the numerous medium-sized suppliers and the OEM more efficient and more effective. In his lecture Norbert Schröder explains the specific challenges of AIRBUS to the supply chain.

For the first time the research and development summit will be held. At the meeting two essential main questions will be discussed, „Future Aircraft Design“ and „Composites“ with the focus on „Composites“: What possibilities there are to increase the number of parts in production and at the same time to reduce its costs. The topic of UAV World (unmanned aerial vehicle) this year is mainly the up-coming booming topic „civil use of unmanned aerial vehicles and the permission to fly in the European Sky. Keyword: „Euro Hawk“. For the use of unmanned airborne systems in the armed forces from today and tomorrow the General Inspector of the air force has confirmed two highly qualified presentations.
