AERO Friedrichshafen 2023, the leading international trade show for General Aviation, lived up to its reputation this year with over 670 exhibitors from 35 nations. As always, all exhibitors focusing on electrically powered aircraft were grouped in Hall A7, designated entirely for green energy. Renowned companies showcased their latest innovations, including eVTOLs, gliders, drones, electric planes, and other cutting-edge products. MGM COMPRO was proud to be part of this event and had the opportunity to get new contacts and strengthen relationships with long-term customers and partners.

Organized Preparation and Impressive Stand

Preparations for the fair were seamless, and MGM COMPRO expanded its stand to over 200 m2 in Hall A7 to showcase its technology. We displayed our electric motors, brushless electric controllers, electric propulsion systems, batteries, and other electronics. To add a touch of variety, MGM COMPRO also invited two other companies, GP Gliders, and XSUN, to decorate the stand with their projects. GP Gliders brought a beautiful glider and XSUN brought its solar-powered drone to the show. Visitors could see both of these aircraft up close. Each project took one side of the stand, allowing visitors and business partners to see firsthand the projects in which MGM COMPRO was involved.

Building New Connections

AERO 2023 was a great success for MGM COMPRO, as the company had the opportunity to get new contacts and strengthen relationships with long-term customers and partners. If you missed the chance to visit MGM COMPRO’s stand in Germany, feel free to contact us directly via email to discuss your project plans.

electric propulsion systems are still progressing.

All electrically focused projects and enterprises were put together in one spot within the exhibitor halls at Aero Friedrichshafen. This year’s location was Hall A7, which was completely dedicated to green energy. All electrically focused exhibitors also from other halls were tagged with a green balloon throughout the exhibition, among other things, to make it simple to distinguish them from combustion planes and other enterprises. Visitors could see new eVTOLs, gliders, drones, electric aircraft and other products from further companies. In addition to brand new projects, there were well-known companies but also our existing clients such as TUM, Song, Helix, Evektor, Breezer, Pure flight, Bee Appliance and others. It was wonderful to see all the familiar faces again.

Preparations of MGM COMPRO stand

Our MGM COMPRO team had a difficult time preparing for this trade fair. Many fresh concepts and ideas had to be merged in a short period of time so that we could provide visitors or new potential clients with all the information they needed about the electric propulsion systems we provide.

Once we had clarified all the important tasks we had to do within AERO Friedrichshafen, there was nothing left to do but get on the road. It takes approximately 9 hours by car from Zlín to Friedrichshafen. Together with our team of project managers and a loaded car, we made it safely to Germany.

What happened on the AERO Friedrichshafen?

We conducted business discussions with our present partners on the first day of our expedition (Wednesday). We also discussed collaboration in the future development of e-flight mobility with new prospective clients. In terms of visits, the first day was not quite as busy. This gave us the opportunity to fine-tune the stand and prepare for the other days.

Our mission’s second day (Thursday) progressed rapidly. Our project managers were introducing our products to new trade fair attendees. We were able to make even more new contacts. Aside from that, the weather was lovely the entire day, and people were able to enjoy the program outdoors of the different venues.

Day 3 (Friday) went off without a hitch and was really productive. We also paid a visit to our customer the Technical University of Munich, and their well-known yellow ambulance. Together we collaborated on several projects in aviation, the maritime sector, and mass transit networks. The Technical University of Munich is now working on a flying application that may be used for a variety of functions such as medical supply delivery, etc.

For the duration of the trade show, we also collaborated with a firm named Helix. We were sharing with them part of their own stand and they shared their part as well.  Together we showed the visitors their awesome Helix propellers and electric motors we as MGM Compro sell.

On Day 4 (Saturday), all exhibitors expected a significant number of visitors, and all halls were fully prepared. Unfortunately, heavy rain fell on Saturday morning, which disrupted the morning program. The afternoon then cleared up and everything went as planned.

After four busy days, we and our team had made a bunch of new contacts and gained so much new knowledge about the latest innovations in our field. Despite the magnificence of Friedrichshafen, we continued our journey back to Zlín. We had such a great time throughout all days of AERO Friedrichshafen. We were able to spend time with our clients as well as with you as a visitor. We are excited for next year and hope it will be even better.

If you did not have the opportunity to meet with us or discuss your project. Please contact us to schedule a meeting to discuss your concept. We are open to a new cooperation with everyone who desires to advance in the realm of electric propulsion systems.

It has become a tradition for MGM COMPRO to be a part of AERO FRIEDRICHSHAFEN every year. AERO presents the world of flight and in the year 2018 it was the 26th edition of this event. The event took place at the Friedrichshafen Exhibition Grounds from April 18 to April 21.

AERO 2018 was filled with the full range of flight topics was rounded off by avionics equipment and propulsion systems as well as pilot supplies and flight training course offerings. The products and services presented during the show by more than 700 exhibitors from around the world include more than 300 aircraft and cover the entire range from gliders and light aircraft to larger airplanes, midsize business jets and helicopters.

AERO leads trade show for general aviation. When we say leads, we really do mean it. Why? Mainly because AERO hosts more than 700 exhibitors from 38 countries, offers 12 exhibition halls plus static display, 2 foyers and we haven’t mentioned magnificent gross area of 105,000 m² yet.

MGM COMPRO WON AN AWARD E-FLIGHT 2018!

At the AERO 2018 in Friedrichshafen MGM COMPRO introduced 6 electric aircrafts on the biggest exhibitor’s booth of the fair. As the icing on the cake MGM COMPRO wins E-FLIGHT AWARD 2018! To see more, click here.

LOOKING FORWARD TO ANOTHER YEAR 

It was a big pleasure for us to be a part of AERO 2018, which highers its standards every year. We’re looking forward to participate in the next year and to continue our tradition. If you would like to see more of the event’s atmosphere, we prepared a short video for you, which you can find at the end of this article.

Huge interest in complex propulsion systems

MGM COMPRO exhibited (like every year) in the hall dedicated to electric flying. We were excited that there was a really huge interest in this field. Our promotion materials were all gone within 2 days. This was incredible and proved a huge potential of our new products – complex electric propulsion systems for gliders, electric planes, trikes and paragliders featuring our speed controllers .
There is no doubt that these Ready to Fly“ Electric Propulsion Systems (8-33 kW) were the biggest attraction. These systems are thanks to the mounting of connectors really easy to connect and ready to fly right away. Meeting the standard IP67 (dust and water resistance – for 30 minutes in 1m depth) is undoubtedly their big advantage.

Visitors also appreciated great variability of MGM COMPRO Battery Accupacks and their BMS (Battery Management Systems). Our  electric motors (1-80kW) and chargers  of industrial battery systems attracted a lot of interest as well.

Apart from the top parameters of MGM COMPRO products, visitors also appreciated the years of experience and particularly the amount of projects from all over the world, which MGM COMPRO is involved in.

AERO FRIEDRICHSHAFEN SHOWED THAT The trend continues

Desire to get an electric propulsion system for aircrafts is rising every year – big exhibitions like this one in AERO Friedrichshafen prove such trend.

This is why MGM COMPRO goes towards the future and offers tailor-made solutions for customers both in the area of particular electronic components and complex electric propulsion systems.

Electric Flying is the future and we are proud to be part of it.
