"In addition to the aircraft configuration, efficient engines and optimised flight operations, aerodynamic surface technologies make a significant contribution to achieving aviation’s ambitious emission targets. The Ludwig Bölkow Campus creates an environment in which ideas become products. We warmly welcome SurfLabX as a new campus partner and wish them every success with the industrialisation of their products and services.", adds Thilo Pinar.
About the team: Christian, Vittorio and Norbert are former PhD students of the Materials Department of Airbus Central Research and Technology (CTO). Driven by the relevance of the technologies developed during their time in Airbus, they decided to start a company working towards a more sustainable aviation. The purpose of the company is to support customers in testing, developing and certifying novel materials, processes and systems for future products in the area of aerodynamic efficient surface technologies. https://de.linkedin.com/company/surflabx-gmbh
