:: The Status of the Hungarian Aerospace Industry
|
The Hungarian aeronautics is represented by 130+ companies and
employs about 2600 people. The Hungarian Aerospace Cluster has
31 members.

that shaped our reemerging Aerospace Industry after the year 2000.
The recent history of our industry shows 3 distinct periods :
1. Stagnation period - during the 70s-80s
2. Transformation period - during the '90s
3. Reemergence period - from the '00s

:: A Hungarian Aerospace Technology Platform Established
|
By the initiative of HAIF a Hungarian Aerospace Technology
Platform (HATP) has been established on the 9th of November 2007.
The founders are:
AEKI.
The new organization will represent 70+ SMEs in design, R/D, testing
and manufacturing fields.
HATP will be co-chaired by Mr. Mihaly Hideg (HAIF) and Mr. Janos
Solymosi (Bonn Hungary Electronics).
