CAMPOS, Brazil, Oct. 10,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Embraer (B3: EMBR3, NYSE: ERJ)
and the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und
Raumfahrt; DLR) today announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
for collaboration regarding precompetitive technology research and
development activities.
The partners will evaluate the possibility of establishing a
future cooperation on a wide range of activities, including
Aircraft Design, Flight Systems, Flight Physics, System
Architectures, Flight Tests, Windtunnel Experiments, Structures and
Materials and Security.
"We are delighted to extend our collaboration with DLR and
continue our team's longstanding relationship. This agreement
represents another key step in our technology journey toward to the
future of a sustainable aviation in partnership with global
research centers", said Maurílio Albanese Novaes Júnior, head of
Research & Technology Development at Embraer.
"Following our long-standing cooperation, we would like to
further intensify our joint activities. International cooperation
is essential if we are to achieve our goal of climate-compatible
aviation," emphasizes Prof. Anke Kaysser-Pyzalla, Chair of the DLR
Executive Board, in São José dos Campos, Brazil. "Together with our partner Embraer, we
are addressing issues such as aerodynamics and flight physics, as
well as conducting studies in the wind tunnel and flight
tests."
DLR and Embraer have already been cooperating on individual
projects since 2001 with relevant results in the field of ice
formation on aircraft (Aircraft Dynamic Modelling with Accreted
Ice), aerodynamics modelling (Online Parameter Identification for
Integrated Aerodynamic Modelling) and aeroelasticity. In 2017,
collaboration was intensified with focus on Sustainability matters,
such as reduction of noise and minimizing the impact of aviation on
the climate.
The signature took place during a visit to Embraer facilities in
São José dos Campos, Brazil, of a
high-level delegation from DLR, led by Professor Anke
Kaysser-Pyzalla, last week.
