Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) to create a partnership covering a range of business and
research initiatives within the field of Power Optimized Aircraft.
Liebherr and Thales will drive a first joint innovative R&T program called “GETI”* which will be cofunded
by the French Aviation Authority (SDCA). This initiative is launched in the framework of new
generation aircraft.
Thales and Liebherr, as tier 1 suppliers, have a joint ambition for supporting airframers within
“Power Optimized Aircraft” architectures by delivering innovative solutions for the technology
development of greener aircraft.
Jean-Marc Alias, Head of Electrical Systems activities for Thales aerospace said, “With Liebherr
Aerospace we have the same understanding of our customers’ key requirements. Our technology
developments which include the On-Board Power Management Centres are driven by the costeffective
solutions we deliver to our customers and end-users.”
“By bringing together our specific competencies we are able to strengthen our powers of innovation
in order to optimize the transformation of pneumatic systems into a more electrical system”,
explained André Benhamou Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse President. “We are taking onboard the
challenge of the Power Optimized Aircraft which is a nose-to-tail systems optimization of on-board
power architecture. This is an important step, since it enables benefits in terms of weight savings
and reliability improvements”, he added.
The partnership has an open approach to breakthrough innovation in the optimization and
application of technology. This approach is totally consistent with the recently published CORAC**
and ACARE*** road map.
The alliance’s ambition is both to support airframers at the earliest stages of aircraft conception
phase and also to federate other partners
