Foreword

in the course of the

export and invest-

ment promotion

activities of the hun-

garian investment

and trade agency

we have always put

a great emphasis on

presenting the tech-

nological capabilities

of the companies

in this country. with this publication of ours

we wish to invite our partners’ attention to an

area, not so well known in the export markets,

like the research, development and innovation

competences and capabilities of the hungarian

aeronautics industry.

innumerable examples show the transfer of

the aerospace industry development achieve-

ments at the top of the technological pyra-

mid into other industries, greatly contributing

thereby to the enhanced competitiveness of

the target sector.

Our objective is to promote through this pub-

lication of ours the establishments of interna-

tional technological and R and D cooperation

projects among enterprises, research facilities

and universities.

although today hungary is not considered to

be a great power in the aviation engineering

industry, still hungarian companies and institu-

tions participate in several successful Eu FP-6,

FP7 and other national and international de-

velopment projects, winning recognition for

the engineering competence in the hungarian

aeronautics industry.

with all of the marketing instruments at its

disposal, the hungarian investment and trade

agency promotes the extension of international

relations of the industry, i.e. we offer possibili-

ties, financial and organizational support for

the SME’s active in or intending to join the field

of the aeronautics industry. accordingly, we are

prepared to organize, support and implement:

• trainings,

• sector-specific professional fora, conferences,

• info-days (e.g. related to R and D applications),

• seminars to promote international knowledge

transfer between research and industry,

• focused partner search,

• outbound and inbound business meetings,

• product displays and exhibitions.

we are confident that through supporting the

cooperation among developers and suppliers we

can become stakeholders in the development of

technological breakthroughs and systems her-

alding new eras!

the hungarian aero-

space industry is in

the phase of rebirth

and re-emergence.

the last decade has

brought remark-

able changes to our

industry structure:

new organizations,

new relations, new projects, new products and

solutions emerged every year.

the hungarian aviation industry Foundation

HAIF was created in 2003 with the mission to

become the industry catalyst and promoter that

brings together organizations, companies in or-

der to speed up the development and growth of

our lagging aeronautical industry.

haiF initiated and organized the establishment

of the hungarian aerospace Cluster HAC in

2006 and the hungarian aerospace technology

Platform HATP in 2007. By now hungary has

an aerospace industry which employs more than

2500 people and incorporates more than 40

high-tech organizations.

The structure of our industry

Our industry consists of a mix of foreign and local

companies and has the capability to develop and

manufacture small aircraft for General aviation,

manufacture metal and composite components

for large aircraft and able to develop and manu-

facture electronic systems and components for

space applications. Since 2008 more than 30

hungarian companies have implemented the

aS9100 aerospace quality system.

in 2009 our companies debuted in the aero

2009 Friedrichshafen Expo for the first time as

an industry, exhibiting seven aircraft models in-

cluding two new composite amphibians, one

aerobatic aircraft and a small uaV.

in 2010 we celebrated the 100th anniversary

of the birth of Hungarian Aviation with

two remarkable events, the debut of our new

Corvus Racer 540 aircraft in Canada at the Red

Bull air Race and the grand opening of our

Greenfield EL-TEC Center in Budapest which

focuses on developing electronic systems for

aerospace applications.

we completed our strategy document in 2011,

which defines the future directions and stages of

our development for the next 10 years with the

focus on General aviation aircraft, uaV systems,

composite- and turbine part manufacturing and

space system development.

the strategy also emphasises the need to improve

collaboration between industry and academia

and enhanced participation in Eu Framework

and the Clean Sky Jti research programmes.

this publication lists the main actors in the re-

search area listing their capabilities and indicat-

ing previous experiences in FP6/7 and Clean Sky

projects. the remarkable achievement in this field

is that our research organizations not just partici-

pate in FP7 and Clean Sky projects, but increas-

ingly they become coordinators of such projects.

the actors within hatP follow the developments

in the European Research area; our representa-

tives are actively involved in the mainstream or-

ganisations, projects for European aeronautics

research co-operations like aCaRE, airtN, Clean

Sky NSRG, EaSN, and Programme Committee

for transport, etc. the new Strategic Research

and innovation agenda (SRia) paves the way

for the whole European aeronautics industry

and players of smaller industry have to find the

ways within the commonly agreed framework.

the leaders of hatP monitor the developments

at European scale and try to find the niche ar-

eas where hungarian companies and research

establishments can provide added value at Eu-

ropean scale. Similarly to the aeronautics co-op-

erations, the air transport research actors follow

the latest developments of SESaR which obvi-

ously impact hungary as well.

in order to speed up our catch up process and to

enter a higher level of development our strategy

document proposes to launch a National Take

Off program to support our aerospace industry.

as a result a more sophisticated, diversified, in-

tegrated high-tech vehicle industry could be cre-

ated in hungary while the results of the research

programs could also be used by the other trans-

port domains.

we believe that with the support of our Gov-

ernment and our Eu partners these goals are

achievable and our organizations can be better

integrated into the European Research area and

will contribute to the success of the European

aeronautical industry.

Carbon reinforced Aluminium wire No CK

80255 Electric cables today are produced of alu-

minium with a steel core. aluminium conducts

electricity, while the steel core keeps the weight.

Our long term engineering goal is to replace the

high density steel core by a low density alumin-

ium matrix composite core. in the later the me-

chanical properties are ensured by carbon fibers.

thus, the production technology of carbon fiber

reinforced aluminium matrix composite strands

(„Cf/al-MMC”) should be developed.

FP6 projects: DIANA: the DiaNa Project is

the first step for the implementation of an en-

hanced avionics platform, named aiDa (archi-

tecture for independent Distributed avionics),

providing secure distribution and execution on

virtual machines to avionics applications. along

with this objective, DiaNa also aims at contrib-

uting to the definition and standardization of

the development and certification means need-

ed to support this novel platform.

DECOS: the project methodically targets,

investigates, and develops approaches to sig-

nificantly alleviate the identified five key ob-

stacles – Electronic hardware Cost, Diagnosis

and Maintenance, Dependability, Develop-

ment Cost, intellectual Property (iP) Protec-

tion – to the deployment of advanced elec-

tronic functions in embedded systems. the

intent is to provide an integrated distributed

execution platform and a set of pre-validated

hardware components and software modules

and tools for the design of dependable em-

bedded systems

SAFEDMI: SaFEDMi objective is to design and

develop a ERtMS-compliant safe (at least SiL2)

DMi with safe wireless communication interfaces

for configuration, Sw and firmware download-

ing and diagnostic purposes to respond to the

increasing safety level needs in the atC systems

of high-speed rail lines.

SENSORIA: the aim of SENSORia is to develop

a novel comprehensive approach to the engi-

neering of software systems for service-oriented

overlay computers where foundational theories,

techniques and methods are fully integrated in a

pragmatic software engineering approach.

Further FP6 projects: AMBER, DESEREC,

HIDENETS

FP7 projects: CECRIS: the project aims at tak-

ing a step forward in the growing field of de-

velopment, verification and validation and cer-

tification of critical systems. the project focuses

on the more difficult/important points of (safety,

efficiency, business …) of critical system devel-

opment, verification and validation and certifi-

cation process. the scientific objectives of the

project are study both the scientific and indus-


23

trial state of the art methodologies for system

development and the impact of their usage on

the verification and validation and certification

of critical systems.

SecureChange: the objective is to develop

techniques and tools that ensure “lifelong” com-

pliance to security, privacy and dependability

requirements for a long-running evolving soft-

ware system. this is challenging because these

requirements are not necessarily preserved by

system evolution. the project will develop proc-

esses and tools that support design techniques

for evolution, testing, verification, re-configura-

tion and local analysis of evolving software.

MOgENTES: MOGENtES aims at significantly

enhancing testing and verification of dependable

embedded systems by means of automated gen-

eration of test cases relying on development of

new approaches as well as innovative integration

of state-of-the-art techniques. Driven by the needs

of its industrial partners, it will address both testing

of non-functional issues like reliability, e.g. by sys-

tem stress and overload tests, and functional safety

tests, meeting the requirements of standards such

as iEC 61508, iSO wD 26262, or autOSaR.

Further projects: E-FREIgHT

ARTEMIS projects: gENESyS: the objective of

the GENESYS project is to develop cross-domain

reference architecture for embedded systems that

can be instantiated for different application do-

mains to meet the requirements and constraints

documented in the aRtEMiS strategic research

agenda. these requirements are composability,

networking, security, robustness, diagnosis, inte-

grated resource management and evolvability. the

reference architecture will address common issues,

such as complexity management, separation of

communication and computation, support for dif-

ferent levels of quality of service, security, model-

based design, heterogeneity of subsystems, legacy

integration, optimal power usage, and diagnosis.

R3COP: the project aims to overcome the frag-

mentation of the robotic sector by creating a

cross-domain platform of methods and tools for

the design, development and validation of resil-

ient and usable real world autonomous systems.

these systems will be able to reason, learn and

cooperate in different application domains such

as surveillance and rescue, agriculture, people

care, home environments and transport


24

Major national projects: CERTIMOT (ERC_

Hu): the main objective of the CERtiMOt project

is to enable certification for model transforma-

tions used in critical systems and service design.

Novel models, languages, techniques and tools

will be developed to systematically design, gen-

erate, verify and trace model transformation arti-

facts required in a certification process. as a long

term vision, CERtiMOt results will significantly

reduce efforts required to certify model transfor-

mations and qualify model transformation and

code generation tools.

levitation technology to assisting the aircraft take-

off and landing. this unique solution is envisioned

to reduce aircraft fuel consumption since aircraft

weight could be reduced, as possibly no undercar-

riage might be needed, less fuel would be needed

to carry on-board and engines could be smaller as

less thrust would be needed.

General information



Slot Consulting is a leading hungarian SME in

the participation of aeronautics and air trans-

port related research projects. Our mission is to

create world-class business value by high-end,

efficient and environment-conscious aviation re-

search activity.

we commit ourselves that our colleagues are

qualified to the highest level of expertise, and

keep their focus on quality cooperation with our

Partners.

SLOt Consulting also takes responsibility to-

wards sustainable growth, and green business

philosophies.

we are continuously seeking for the latest tech-

nologies, know-how and the most efficient intel-

lectual resources all over Europe.


62

as being member of different consortiums we

work together with numerous outstanding re-

search institutes, universities, airports, airlines

and innovative companies, few examples are

aENa, airbus, DFS, DLR, iNECO, NatS, NLR, SE-

LEX, thaLES, uCL.

we are up-to-date about the always-changing

relation of the aviation industry and global

economy. this knowledge we use extensively in

customer-tailored analyses.

apart from aeronautical related R&D activities,

Slot Consulting is involved in iCt aspects of

different projects as well. the level and area

of involvement could be different however

due to existing iCt competencies and flexibil-

ity Slot Consulting tackles all the challenges

successfully. Besides project involvement, Slot

Consulting also participates in programs and

initiatives serving the integration of the in-

ternational aeronautical industry in the field

of R&D. these projects usually assist R&D re-

sources of a specific country or region by de-

veloping international connections encourag-

ing international cooperation.

under the umbrella of a self-financed initiative

called “Greenflight”, Slot Consulting started a

few sub-projects for the long-term greening of

air transport, to the extents of a computational

air traffic emission model and the definition of

global outlooks of emission.

SLOt Consulting gained high-end experience in

some special areas of aviation such as flight per-

formance modelling, airport collective decision

making and turnaround procedures.

in the need of either RaD-based relational

databases, or larger scale SQL, we can surely

assist. From MS access to object-relational

DB’s, we most probably have the experience

required.

Since in most of the projects we contribute to we

are responsible for dissemination tasks, we had

to take care of web design resources. aviation-

related web content creation and management

is in our everyday workflow.

From the concepts to the implementation, with

the help of our well trained colleagues in the

fields of human-machine communication and

interface design. Should it be a conventional 2D

hMi, or one optimized for 3D displays, we can

set it up efficiently.

Based on the experience gained in aviation,

Slot Consulting has recently started it devel-

opment activities in the field of marine/sailing

applications.
