The COVID-19 pandemic has put the aviation industry in one of its biggest crises [1]. A majority of countries imposed travel restrictions to control the spread of COVID-19, resulting in a significant decrease in tourist travel. Currently, according to the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO), 32% of destinations around the world are completely closed to international tourism.
Winglets are a proven way to reduce aircraft drag, save fuel, cut carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions, and reduce noise. They increase range and enable a faster rate of climb.
Fewer emissions, more growth: this is the FTI advisory board’s vision for the future of Austrian aviation – with FACC’s assistance.
Hardly any other industry is as quality-driven as the aviation industry. There is a large number of globally active professional associations that advocate clear, groundbreaking quality and production standards and ensure and document their complete compliance and implementation.
The main goal of Bionics (BIOlogy + TechNICS) is the solution of technical problems and includes the analysis of biological systems, the abstraction of the resulting findings and the application of these to technical solutions. Numerous technical developments are based on inspiration from nature. Best known developments in aerodynamics are winglets or sharkles on aircraft wings.
Test, measure, calibrate: there is no other sector where certification is as important as in aviation. An interview with Hubert Kern, Vice President Quality at FACC.

In order to get from A to B, many solutions have been established on the market in recent years that eliminate the need to own a car. A large proportion of these solutions relate to the Sharing Economy approach, which is based on the shared use of mobility solutions. These mobility services need to be highly frequented in order to become profitable and viable in the long term. Consequently, these developments can be observed above all in urban areas, as they are associated with a higher population density and thus a higher probability of use. Overall, sharing mobility solutions have an impact on the sustainable symbiosis of ecology and economy.

What was still impossible yesterday, has become reality today. We are witnessing a revolution of mobility in the skies. For us at FACC this means to keep an open mind, put out our feelers, and think ahead in order to stay ahead. In this connection, we distinguish between near, medium-term, and distant future.
Passenger aircraft can only earn money when they are in the air. For companies fitting out the interiors of new aircraft, this means swift delivery ensuring commissioning at the earliest possible date. When it comes to the manufacturing of interiors components, a high-volume production of units is essential. FACC has set itself the goal of developing a system for CFRP passenger cabin parts that ensures a serial manufacturing of large numbers of parts while keeping production times as short as possible.
