History goes back to 10’s of 20th century1918: the first aircraft manufacturing company

established in Prague - LETOVRapid development in 20-30’sIn 50’s – 80’s one of the most prospering sectors in the Czech economy

Economic peak achieved in 1987: more than 1% overall turnover of EU aerospace industry, i.e. 617 mln EUR

Economic recession and changes in 90’s of 20th century

AEROSPACE RESEARCH CENTRE

Goals of the Centre:Goals of the Centre:

a) in the technical area- advancement of selected disciplines to support specially the

development of small GA aircraft

- introduction of new selected disciplines and fields necessary for wider spectrum of users including aviation

- completion of aerospace field missing infrastructure, which is anecessary condition for connection to western research and development structures and programs (EU, NATO)

- gradual connection of the “Centre” to similar associations working in EU countries

55

Goals of the Centre:Goals of the Centre:

b) in the personal area- the teams of the “ARC” include experienced

specialists together with young perspective engineers

- functional connection of the best specialists from schools, institutes and companies to team

- Involvement of students and Ph.D. students on specific projects for increase of technical level of study

AEROSPACE RESEARCH CENTRE

56

c) in the economic area

- connection of the best specialists to teams provided high effectiveness and solution speed of particular

project of the “CAR”

- using the existing infrastructure, the equipment and facilities of the CAR institutions to minimize the

cost of the projects

- strongly support the applied research on technical universities to stimulate the interest of young specialists for their lifelong specialization
