Foreword In the course of the export and investment promotion activities of the Hungarian Investment and Trade Agency we have always put a great emphasis on presenting the technological capabilities of the companies in this country. With this publication of ours we wish to invite our partners’ attention to an area, not so well known in the export markets, like the research, development and innovation competences and capabilities of the Hungarian aeronautics industry. Innumerable examples show the transfer of the aerospace industry development achievements at the top of the technological pyramid into other industries, greatly contributing thereby to the enhanced competitiveness of the target sector. Our objective is to promote through this publication of ours the establishments of international technological and R and D cooperation projects among enterprises, research facilities and universities. Although today Hungary is not considered to be a great power in the aviation engineering industry, still Hungarian companies and institutions participate in several successful EU FP-6, FP7 and other national and international development projects, winning recognition for the engineering competence in the Hungarian aeronautics industry.

With all of the marketing instruments at its disposal, the Hungarian Investment and Trade Agency promotes the extension of international relations of the industry, i.e. we offer possibilities, financial and organizational support for the SME’s active in or intending to join the field of the aeronautics industry. Accordingly, we are prepared to organize, support and implement: • trainings, • sector-specific professional fora, conferences, • info-days (e.g. related to R and D applications), • seminars to promote international knowledge transfer between research and industry, • focused partner search, • outbound and inbound business meetings, • product displays and exhibitions.

We are confident that through supporting the cooperation among developers and suppliers we can become stakeholders in the development of technological breakthroughs and systems heralding new eras! Róbert Bödőcs director, Business Development Directorate

Moving forward, catching up The Hungarian Aerospace Industry is in the phase of rebirth and re-emergence. The last decade has brought remarkable changes to our industry structure: new organizations, new relations, new projects, new products and solutions emerged every year. The Hungarian Aviation Industry Foundation HAIF was created in 2003 with the mission to become the industry catalyst and promoter that brings together organizations, companies in order to speed up the development and growth of our lagging aeronautical industry. HAIF initiated and organized the establishment of the Hungarian Aerospace Cluster HAC in 2006 and the Hungarian Aerospace Technology Platform HATP in 2007. By now Hungary has an aerospace industry which employs more than 2500 people and incorporates more than 40 high-tech organizations. HUNGARIAN GOVERMENT Ministries, HITA, NIH, Authorities

In 2009 our companies debuted in the Aero 2009 Friedrichshafen Expo for the first time as an industry, exhibiting seven aircraft models including two new composite amphibians, one aerobatic aircraft and a small UAV. In 2010 we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the birth of Hungarian Aviation with two remarkable events, the debut of our new Corvus Racer 540 aircraft in Canada at the Red Bull Air Race and the grand opening of our Greenfield EL-TEC Center in Budapest which focuses on developing electronic systems for aerospace applications. We completed our strategy document in 2011, which defines the future directions and stages of our development for the next 10 years with the focus on General Aviation aircraft, UAV systems, composite- and turbine part manufacturing and space system development.

The structure of our industry 4

Our industry consists of a mix of foreign and local companies and has the capability to develop and manufacture small aircraft for General Aviation, manufacture metal and composite components for large aircraft and able to develop and manufacture electronic systems and components for space applications. Since 2008 more than 30 Hungarian companies have implemented the AS9100 aerospace quality system.

The strategy also emphasises the need to improve collaboration between industry and academia and enhanced participation in EU Framework and the Clean Sky JTI research programmes.

T h e H u ng a r i a n Aeron a u t i cs R & D S ec t or

This publication lists the main actors in the research area listing their capabilities and indicating previous experiences in FP6/7 and Clean Sky projects. The remarkable achievement in this field is that our research organizations not just participate in FP7 and Clean Sky projects, but increasingly they become coordinators of such projects. The actors within HATP follow the developments in the European Research Area; our representatives are actively involved in the mainstream organisations, projects for European aeronautics research co-operations like ACARE, AirTN, Clean Sky NSRG, EASN, and Programme Committee for Transport, etc. The new Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) paves the way for the whole European aeronautics industry and players of smaller industry have to find the ways within the commonly agreed framework. The leaders of HATP monitor the developments at European scale and try to find the niche areas where Hungarian companies and research establishments can provide added value at European scale. Similarly to the aeronautics co-operations, the air transport research actors follow the latest developments of SESAR which obviously impact Hungary as well.

In order to speed up our catch up process and to enter a higher level of development our strategy document proposes to launch a National Take Off program to support our aerospace industry. As a result a more sophisticated, diversified, integrated high-tech vehicle industry could be created in Hungary while the results of the research programs could also be used by the other transport domains. We believe that with the support of our Government and our EU partners these goals are achievable and our organizations can be better integrated into the European Research Area and will contribute to the success of the European Aeronautical Industry.

Carbon reinforced Aluminium wire No CK 80255 Electric cables today are produced of aluminium with a steel core. Aluminium conducts electricity, while the steel core keeps the weight. Our long term engineering goal is to replace the high density steel core by a low density aluminium matrix composite core. In the later the mechanical properties are ensured by carbon fibers. Thus, the production technology of carbon fiber reinforced aluminium matrix composite strands („Cf/Al-MMC”) should be developed.

trial state of the art methodologies for system development and the impact of their usage on the verification and validation and certification of critical systems. SecureChange: The objective is to develop techniques and tools that ensure “lifelong” compliance to security, privacy and dependability requirements for a long-running evolving software system. This is challenging because these requirements are not necessarily preserved by system evolution. The project will develop processes and tools that support design techniques for evolution, testing, verification, re-configuration and local analysis of evolving software. MOGENTES: MOGENTES aims at significantly enhancing testing and verification of dependable embedded systems by means of automated generation of test cases relying on development of new approaches as well as innovative integration of state-of-the-art techniques. Driven by the needs of its industrial partners, it will address both testing of non-functional issues like reliability, e.g. by system stress and overload tests, and functional safety tests, meeting the requirements of standards such as IEC 61508, ISO WD 26262, or AUTOSAR. 24

Further projects: E-FREIGHT ARTEMIS projects: GENESYS: The objective of the GENESYS project is to develop cross-domain reference architecture for embedded systems that can be instantiated for different application domains to meet the requirements and constraints documented in the ARTEMIS strategic research agenda. These requirements are composability, networking, security, robustness, diagnosis, integrated resource management and evolvability. The reference architecture will address common issues, such as complexity management, separation of communication and computation, support for different levels of quality of service, security, modelbased design, heterogeneity of subsystems, legacy integration, optimal power usage, and diagnosis. R3COP: The project aims to overcome the fragmentation of the robotic sector by creating a cross-domain platform of methods and tools for the design, development and validation of resilient and usable real world autonomous systems. These systems will be able to reason, learn and cooperate in different application domains such as surveillance and rescue, agriculture, people care, home environments and transport

Major national projects: CERTIMOT (ERC_ HU): The main objective of the CERTIMOT project is to enable certification for model transformations used in critical systems and service design. Novel models, languages, techniques and tools will be developed to systematically design, generate, verify and trace model transformation artifacts required in a certification process. As a long term vision, CERTIMOT results will significantly reduce efforts required to certify model transformations and qualify model transformation and code generation tools.

General information

List and short description of the projects Slot Consulting has participated in several EC FP5, FP6 and FP7 and EUROCONTROL research and development projects. The list of the FP7 projects by category are as follows: Research organisation: as coordinator: Aero-Ukraine, CEARES, CEARES-NET as participant: AeroPortal, CANNAPE Aviation study: CargoMAP (coordinator), MONITOR Aircraft related: GABRIEL, SANDRA Airport related: AP2050, ATOM, TITAN 62

Short description of the organisation’s research and development capabilities Slot Consulting is a leading Hungarian SME in the participation of aeronautics and air transport related research projects. Our mission is to create world-class business value by high-end, efficient and environment-conscious aviation research activity. We commit ourselves that our colleagues are qualified to the highest level of expertise, and keep their focus on quality cooperation with our Partners. SLOT Consulting also takes responsibility towards sustainable growth, and green business philosophies. We are continuously seeking for the latest technologies, know-how and the most efficient intellectual resources all over Europe.

T h e H u ng a r i a n Aeron a u t i cs R & D S ec t or

As being member of different consortiums we work together with numerous outstanding research institutes, universities, airports, airlines and innovative companies, few examples are AENA, Airbus, DFS, DLR, INECO, NATS, NLR, SELEX, THALES, UCL. We are up-to-date about the always-changing relation of the aviation industry and global economy. This knowledge we use extensively in customer-tailored analyses. Apart from aeronautical related R&D activities, Slot Consulting is involved in ICT aspects of different projects as well. The level and area of involvement could be different however due to existing ICT competencies and flexibility Slot Consulting tackles all the challenges successfully. Besides project involvement, Slot Consulting also participates in programs and initiatives serving the integration of the international aeronautical industry in the field of R&D. These projects usually assist R&D resources of a specific country or region by developing international connections encouraging international cooperation. Under the umbrella of a self-financed initiative called “Greenflight”, Slot Consulting started a few sub-projects for the long-term greening of

air transport, to the extents of a computational air traffic emission model and the definition of global outlooks of emission. SLOT Consulting gained high-end experience in some special areas of aviation such as flight performance modelling, airport collective decision making and turnaround procedures. In the need of either RAD-based relational databases, or larger scale SQL, we can surely assist. From MS Access to object-relational DB’s, we most probably have the experience required. Since in most of the projects we contribute to we are responsible for dissemination tasks, we had to take care of web design resources. Aviationrelated web content creation and management is in our everyday workflow. From the concepts to the implementation, with the help of our well trained colleagues in the fields of human-machine communication and interface design. Should it be a conventional 2D HMI, or one optimized for 3D displays, we can set it up efficiently. Based on the experience gained in aviation, Slot Consulting has recently started IT development activities in the field of marine/sailing applications. 63
