Diehl Aviation – Innovation is in our DNA
Hardly any industry has been associated with "innovation" in the way aviation has been since its start. In this day and age of industrial digitization, aviation companies more than ever thrive on their innovations and the dynamics of developing and launching new products and services.
Local dynamics – regional strength – global success
For Diehl Aviation, these dynamics are spread across several sites, but the effect is also reflected in the collaboration and synergy effects throughout the entire division. The structure – strong sites, strong group – accounts for a large part of our special efficiency.
Crossing divisions: Wealth of ideas and creative power
Innovation is in our DNA. This applies to innovation in flight control, to the use of light, water and air supply as well as to novel design models throughout the entire interior cabin design.
With our innovative solutions, we have been able to set international standards for aviation systems and cabins in the aviation industry.
We are among the global technology leaders in the field of cabin and flight control. And there are reasons for this:
- Decades of work in research and development are reflected in a large number of patents. They ensure our technological edge in certain product and service segments.
- Across its sites, Diehl Aviation employs more than 300 people in research & development. This benefits our customers.
- Economic self-sufficiency through substantial size. This enables us to manage the relative long development cycles in the industry.
- Cooperations with universities and research institutions, participation in numerous research projects ensure - even across sectors - an ongoing transfer of knowledge.
