Engine Area

In the Engine Area, powered by fliegermagazin, the latest propulsion technologies will be presented in a clear and compact manner. Whether it is evolutionary electric motors, the latest piston engines or powerful jet turbines, the Engine Area is an important hot spot, not just for aeronautical engineers. A series of accompanying lectures will include maintenance topics as well as the development of sustainable aviation fuels in the future.

The latest propulsion developments

Last year‘s “pilot project“ was a great success. More than 25 flight schools responded to the aerokurier‘s call and came to AERO Friedrichshafen to attract young people to a career as a pilot. At AERO 2016, the fields of job opportunities, training options and career prospects in the aviation sector will also be included.

Whether as a pilot or an aeronautical engineer, the AEROCareer creates careers in aviation.

RPAS Expo

RPAS Expo

NEW POSSIBILITIES THROUGHUNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS

Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems, popularly known as drones, will be on display in the RPAS special area at AERO Friedrichshafen. As these systems share the same airspace with manned aircraft and can be used for similar missions, it stands to reason that these unmanned aircraft should be given a platform at AERO Friedrichshafen. The RPAS EXPO will receive extensive media support from the FliegerRevue. At the same time, the UAV DACH Conference will be held once again along with an indoor flying display.

The visit of EU Commissioner Violetta Bulc to the e-flight-expo at AERO 2015 underlines the growing importance of electric flight and the development of sustainable technologies. Almost all manufacturers in the general aviation sector are already taking this development into

account. In addition to the e-flight-expo, the e-flight-forum will be providing the latest information about the current state of electric aviation. Companies such as Siemens or Bosch expect to see certification numbers rise steadily in the near future.

The Aviation and Pilots Competence Centre, APCC, has proved a hot spot for pilots. It provides them with all the information they need about subjects like flying weather, licensing, aircraft certification and other important topics. And, of course, pilot supplies, ranging from pilot sunglasses to exclusive watches, are also available in the APCC.

HOT SPOT FOR PILOTS

Traditionally the meeting place for pilots and aircraft manufacturers, AERO Friedrichshafen has increasingly attracted trade visitors from the supply sector in the recent years. Representatives from these companies come to the show to discuss materials, supplies and production technologies with the exhibitors‘ design engineers.

Not only does this matchmaking opportunity provide a comprehensive overview of available innovative products and materials, it also saves both parties time and money.

For the first time, AERO 2016 will be featuring a Supply Chain special area and accompanying presentations as part of the AERO Conferences programme.

Helicopter Hangar Perfect surrounding

Why are more and more helicopter manufacturers finding their way to Friedrichshafen? Is it because of the wide variety of mission opportunities in the nearby Alps or simply because of the perfect surroundings that AERO‘s central location in Europe is able to offer? In 2016, the AERO Conferences will be featuring the new Heli Forum where many aspects of rotary wing flight will be addressed in detail.

The Static Display area, located between Friedrichshafen Airport and Messe Friedrichshafen‘s most modern exhibition halls, has become the meeting place for the business aviation community. Attracted by Friedrichshafen‘s central location in Europe, manufacturers of business jets not only benefit from the current economic upswing but also from the pleasant atmosphere at the trade show on the shores of Lake Constance.
