[Partners of ECOMAT]
The core competence of Airbus in Bremen is the development of high-lift systems for all Airbus aircraft. The landing flaps of all Airbus aircraft are assembled here and the wings of the A330 and A350 long-haul aircraft are fitted. At the repair center in Stuhrbaum, damaged parts are repaired during airline operations.
At the ECOMAT, Airbus teams research new materials and processes for the aerospace industry and bring them to series production. Bremen is also working on the future of flight and developing the control system for liquid hydrogen tanks.
The site is also responsible for developing the cargo loading systems for the entire Airbus fleet, including the A400M transport aircraft. A large part of the fuselage is assembled in Bremen and equipped with all flight-critical systems.
The Hanseatic city is also the European competence center for astronautical space travel, upper stages for launch vehicles and space robotics. Bremen is responsible for the main European contributions to the International Space Station ISS and for the development and construction of the service module for the new American Orion spacecraft.
