Daher has inaugurated its new technology centre – called Fly’in – which is dedicated to sustainable aviation.

Located at the Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrénées Airport in southwestern France, the 2,100-square-metre centre is the third of Daher’s three tech centres to accelerate innovation.

Fly’in at Tarbes joins the Log’in facility at Toulouse for industrial logistics, and Shap’in at Nantes for advanced aerostructures.

The initiatives, supported by the French government and the European Union under the France 2030 programme – as well as by the Occitanie and Pays de la Loire regions – are at the heart of the Daher Group’s “Take Off 2027” strategic plan.

Fly’in is positioned as a platform of excellence for research, development, rapid prototyping, ground and flight testing, as well as data science.

Among its flagship projects is the EcoPulse aircraft demonstrator, which enables Daher – along with its Safran and Airbus partners – to explore the potential of high-voltage electric hybridisation technologies in reducing the carbon footprint of aircraft.

Fly’in is part of the Campus Aero Adour project, which aims to develop and deploy attractive training programmes with qualifications – targeting the training of 15,000 people and raising awareness among 36,000 on the challenges facing the aerospace sector through 2030.

“Fly’in perfectly illustrates Daher’s efforts to innovate and collaborate for more sustainable aviation, which is aligned with our corporate purpose,” stated Didier Kayat, the Chairman & CEO of Daher. “This technology centre embodies the vision of a future where technology and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.”
