Aerospace

Reliability of any equipment onboard of an airplane is an absolute must. At the company's own test centre, Liebherr aerospace components are therefore tested very rigorously prior to being dispatched and are certified in accordance with the highest industry standards. Furthermore, we endeavor the long-term availability of our products through our efficient obsolescence management.

Currently, the focus of development in the aviation sector is placed on "More Electric Aircraft (MEA)". With this approach in mind, aircraft can be made lighter and more fuel efficient and impress with high economy. The broad product spectrum of control and power electronics from Liebherr offers tried and tested applications for the electrification of aircraft.
