As a global leader, Collins is in a unique position to help advance next-generation aerospace technologies that improve operational performance. Collins recognizes that the greatest potential to support the industry lies in driving greater energy efficiency through disruptive technology and innovations. In Germany, Collins is participating in seven projects under the European Union’s Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking. As part of this initiative, Collins is collaborating with European airframers, engine makers, suppliers and academia to develop advanced aviation technologies focused on improved aircraft performance.
Playing a key role in one of these projects is Collins’ subsidiary Nord-Micro, based in Frankfurt, that will work with Honeywell to provide cabin air distribution for its Clean Aviation Project TheMa4HERA, which stands for Thermal Management for Hybrid Electric Regional Aircraft. Given that the Frankfurt facility has decades of experience developing state-of-the-art cabin pressure controls and ventilation systems for commercial and military platforms, it will bring its expertise to the rest of the project consortium to help optimize the design of new cabin air solutions that increase efficiency on future aircraft.
