The specialist for seating systems and rescue systems Autoflug has concluded a teaming agreement with the French aircraft supplier Rafaut Group. The aim is a common strategic direction on the market in order to apply for the German/French FCAS program.
“The FCAS (Future Combat Air System) program is an extremely large and important program in which our countries will collectively set the future standard for the aviation industry for decades to come. Since we want to make an important contribution to this program, it is only logical to look for a strong partner in France. A particular strength of AUTOFLUG lies in equipping combat aircraft with rescue and safety systems such as ejection seats or fuel systems. The experience of both companies forms the basis for joint developments, production and also for services for the new fighter jet within the FCAS program.” Said Martin Kroell, Managing Partner of Autoflug.
Er stuft das Programm zur Entwicklung und Beschaffung eines zukünftigen europäischen Kampfflugzeuges (Future Combat Air System, FCAS) als extrem großes und wichtiges Programm, in dem unsere Länder gemeinsam den zukünftigen Standard für die Luftfahrtindustrie für die nächsten Jahrzehnte setzen werden.
In addition, the partners want to mutually offer their products in other projects of the procurement offices of both countries.
