ODE4HERA 1st Technological/ Thematic Workshop (TTWS1)

That's the slogan of our ODE4HERA project, embedded in the Clean Aviation programme, whose objective is to develop an open digital platform as an enabler to the development of the highly complex Hybrid Electrical Aircraft. This workshop will be a unique opportunity for experts from the digital engineering and aeronautics industry to gather together and to share valuable insights and knowledge.

Open discussion will be at the core of the two half-days workshop. Short presentations from specialists in the ODE4HERA consortium as well as external experts will introduce some key topics and will then be followed by deep and productive exchanges. This collaborative approach will allow all participants to express their ideas, knowledge and question marks, to get the best out of this event. 

The workshop will be organised according to five dedicated session topics: 

• A/C Design Process State-of-the-art & Challenges From a Technology Users Perspective 

• Interfaces & Interoperability Between Legacy and Innovation 

• Practical Experience in MBSE/MDO and Potential Improvements 

• Beyond TRL5 in Manufacturing and Certification

Join us as we explore the potential and the limits of the future aircraft.

Register now to secure your spot and join us for an unforgettable experience!

Register also for another interactive event hosted by the ODE4HERA coordinator German Aerospace Center (DLR). The hands-on workshop focuses on one of the key technologies used in ODE4HERA: CPACS (Common Parametric Aircraft Configuration Schema) and will take place on 1-2 October in the same venue, see more information below.

Networking opportunities: The event provides a great opportunity to meet and connect with like-minded individuals, as well as experts in your field. You can make valuable connections that can help you grow your career or business.

Knowledge sharing: The event features expert speakers who share their insights and knowledge on a particular topic. This can provide attendees with new ideas, perspectives, and strategies that they can apply to their work or personal life.

Collaborate with others: The event is a great opportunity to collaborate with others in your field or industry. Participants can meet potential partners, collaborators, or even competitors and share ideas and insights.

Be inspired to innovate: Getting out of your office. Meeting new people in your fields of expertise or beyond. This event is also a great opportunity to engage with people from diverse organisations and European countries, and gain fresh insights and inspiration that can stimulate new ways of thinking and drive innovation.

The ODE4HERA Technological & Thematic workshop will be followed by an interactive workshop on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Common Parametric Aircraft Configuration Schema (CPACS).

SAVE THE DATE: CPACS is a key technology for collaboration across large multidisciplinary design-teams and interoperation within complex projects generally speaking, and within ODE4HERA in particular. This “language” is currently used to define a standardised data structure for the air transportation system and was first developed by German Aerospace Center (DLR) 20 years ago. On this special occasion, DLR in Hamburg invites researchers and engineers from industry, research organisations, academia and think-tanks to join and:

• get exciting insights into both, the history and current developments of CPACS and the connected TiGL geometry software

• receive hands-on tutorials and receive support during practical exercises

• have great networking opportunities and gain new inspiration

If multidisciplinary design-optimisation is at the core of your work – come and join us on 1-2 October 2025 in Hamburg, ZAL (Center of Applied Aeronautical Sciences)
Registration will soon be open here.
