The Corona crisis has heavily impacted public transportation as we knew it until now. Many people avoid buses and trams for fear of an infection. But how can individual transportation be reconciled with the mandate to create carless and environmentally friendly inner cities?
Autonomously driving electric cabin scooters could provide an answer to this question. Today, we already possess the necessary technology for their implementation. (more…)
Over the past years, how often has the transporter A400M been under the crossfire from the public eye? Too complex, too expensive and who needs a new military aircraft today anyways…?
In times of Corona, this transport plane shows its true colors! As a matter of fact, the A400M is currently playing a key role in countless humanitarian missions targeting the transfer of COVID-19 patients, worldwide.
Ever since 2001, the “Girl’s Day” has become one of the biggest professional orientation events for young women in Germany. The aim is to encourage girls to consider professions inappropriately viewed as a being part of a typical “male domain”. Particularly, practical insights into technical jobs are meant to help girls to abolish any reservations about said type of professions. In addition, this provides the opportunity to establish useful contacts with the industry, when searching for an apprenticeship or a practical training during university studies.
As in the past, this year, SII in Germany opens her doors for young female candidates, interested in learning about the development process of aircrafts.

TISAX (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) aims at establishing a company wide recognition of information security assessments for the automotive industry, based on a common verification and exchange mechanism.
Consequently, a wide number of German car manufacturers and suppliers of automotive components expect from their business partners to be accordingly certified. The basis for this certification is a catalogue created by the members of the German Automobile Association (Verband der Automobilindustrie e. V. in short: VDA) which was derived from the international industrial norm ISO/IEC 27001 and reflects the specific requirements of the automotive sector. (more…)
The scope of work of SII Deutschland’s Design Organization Approval (DOA) according to Part 21, formerly limited to aeroplanes, has now been extended to small and large rotorcrafts.
A central aspect of flight testing a helicopter consists in demonstrating the availability of adequate, so called “residual controls travel” in every flight situation. This represents the reserves available to the pilot through the control stick, allowing him to quickly react to gusts or down drafts during extreme maneuvers, e.g. when hovering over mountainous terrain.
