Introduction The Hungarian Aeronautical Industry 3


Our industry consists of a mix of foreign and
local companies and capable to develop
and manufacture small aircraft for General
Aviation, manufacture metal and composite
components for large aircraft and able to
develop and manufacture UAS systems for
civil and military purposes. Since 2008 more
than 30 Hungarian companies implemented
the AS9100 aerospace quality system.
In 2009 our companies debuted in the Aero
2009 Friedrichshafen Expo for the first time
as an emerging industry, exhibiting seven
new aircraft models including two composite
amphibians one acrobatic aircraft and a small
UAV. By now we manufacture 5 GA category
aircraft and have 5 other prototypes under
testing including two amphibians and a small
helicopter.
4 Introduction The Hungarian Aeronautical Industry
In 2010 we celebrated the 100th anniversary
of the birth of Hungarian Aviation with
two remarkable events, the debut of our new
Corvus Racer 540 aircraft in Canada at the
Red Bull Air Race and the grand opening of
our greenfield El-Tech Center in Budapest
which focuses on developing electronic
systems for aerospace applications.
We completed our strategy document in
2011, which defines the future directions
and stages of our development for the next
10 years with the focus on aircraft design for
General Aviation, UAS systems, composite-
and turbine part manufacturing and
embedded system development.
Since then we could improve collaboration
between industry and academia and created
a network of R/D organizations actively
participating in EU Framework and the Clean
Sky JTI research programmes.
As a result in 2013 a new brochure was
published introducing the Hungarian
Aeronautics R/D sector, which lists the
main actors in the research area listing
their capabilities and indicating previous
experiences in FP6/7 and Clean Sky projects.
The current publication serves as a
complementary document listing the main
actors in the manufacturing, design and
testing area of the Hungarian Aeronautical
Industry.
In order to speed up our catch up process and
to enter a higher level of development our
aim is to launch a National Take Off program
to support our aeronautical industry.
As a result a more sophisticated, diversified,
integrated high-tech vehicle industry could be
created in Hungary where the achievements
of our programs could also be used by the
other transport domains.
We believe that with the support of our
Government and our EU partners our
collaboration and diversification strategy
can be successful and our organizations
can be better integrated into the European
Aerospace Industry which in turn will help our
industry to be successful internationally.

The Hungarian Aerospace Industry History In a Nutshell
Emil Némethy (1867-1943) was the first
engineer in the world to use steel tubes for
aeroplanes and work with aileron areas. The
“Némethy-equation” was one of the first
mathematical solutions to calculate with great
precision the lifting ability of early aircraft.
Sándor Svachulay (1875-1955) built
an aeroplane with welded steel tubes in
1909, which proved to be a forerunner of
modern skeleton-structured aeroplanes. For
the famous Albatros, Svachulay designed a
retractable landing gear, later adapted by
several international designers. His other
inventions included the adjustable metal
propeller and a device to control landing
speed.
János Adorján (1882-1964) was the
designer and constructor of Hungary’s first
working aeroplane. His twin-cylinder “Libelle”
plane completed several successful flights in
1909 and 1910.
8 Introduction The Hungarian Aeronautical Industry
Pál Vágó (1889-?) invented and developed
the gyroscopic stabiliser, a forerunner of
modern gyro horizons.
In the early decades of modern aviation
history, engineers seeking new flying methods
probed a variety of diverse concepts. In
addition to the rigid wing “dragon” and the
ornithopter, they also experimented with
propellers rotating around a vertical shaft.
during World War I, Lieutenant-colonel
István Petróczy, professor Tódor Kármán and
Vilmos Zurovetz jointly conducted hovering
experiments with a “windmill plane”, the PKZ.
Tódor Kármán (1881-1949) is considered a
leading theoretician of aerodynamics. Kármán
analysed the flow of fluids past a cylindrical
obstacle at right angles and determined that
the wake separated into two rows creating
turbulence around them. This is manifested
in aircraft wing flutter and the oscillation of a
bridge in high wind. The concept, presented
in several papers in 1911 and 1912, came
to be known as the “Kármán vortex street”
or “Kármán vortices”. His work led to the
redesign of many structures to withstand
vibration, including modifications to the
design of ships and aircraft to adopt more
streamlined forms. Kármán’s theory on
aerodynamic bumps served as a basis for the
development of supersonic aircraft.
Oszkár Asbóth (1891-1960) performed
military service at an aircraft factory near
Vienna after the outbreak of World War
I, where he was in charge of propeller
manufacturing. He constructed and tested
some 1,500 propellers in the factory’s wind
tunnel. Ten years later, Asbóth built his first
helicopter. Powered by a 120-horsepower,
nine-cylinder engine and propelled by two
4.35 meter propellers assembled in parallel
one above the other and rotating in opposite
directions, the “AH 1” took off vertically on
September 9, 1928.
Dávid Schwartz (1845-1897), the Hungarian
inventor of the dirigible airship, used ultra-
thin aluminium to insulate the balloon, the
aluminium skeleton and the propellers at
the sides of the basket. Commissioned by
the German army, he constructed the first
dirigible airship in 1896, tested with partial
success at Tempelhof near Berlin, Germany,
on November 3, 1897. The propeller belts
broke, causing the pilot to lose control
and crash the airship. Schwarz died shortly
afterwards and his widow sold all patent
rights to Graf Zeppelin in 1898. Zeppelin
went on to develop a successful line of
dirigible airships which bore his name, while
that of Schwartz disappeared into oblivion.
Aladár Zsélyi (1883-1914) was the first
in Hungary to design and construct an
aeroplane based entirely on structural
engineering fundamentals. His creation
included several new concepts, including
a new control mechanism and a spring-
mounted landing gear.
9

Ernő Rubik (1910-1997) was a member
of a group of aircraft designers who were
instrumental in rebuilding the Hungarian
aircraft industry after World War I and II.
As head of the Central Experimental Plant,
he started to develop all-metal gliders with
simple structures suitable for mass production
in 1956. A family of gliders emerged, the
most successful of which was the R-26 Góbé
two-seater glider still in use for training
purposes. In 1963, Ernő Rubik was awarded
the Kossuth Prize, the highest Hungarian
state award for science, for his lifetime
achievement.
Hungary’s aerospace industry can look back
on rich traditions. There have been several
outstanding Hungarian aircraft designers and
builders who have left their mark on the early
history of aviation.
Following World War II, and the Hungarian
revolution of 1956 (against the government
and its Soviet-imposed policies) in particular,
Hungarian aerospace development was

opened a new “composite era” in the history
of the Hungarian aerospace industry. Today
there are six SMEs active in the design,
development and manufacturing of general
aviation airplane/rotorcraft categories and
3 organizations are active in the area of
unmanned aviation vehicles.
The Hungarian Aerospace Industry
(including MRO organisations) is almost
100% privately owned and currently
comprises more than 130 registered
organisations employing some 2,700 people.
12 Introduction The Hungarian Aeronautical Industry
The Hungarian Aviation Industry
Foundation (HAIF - www.haif.org) was
established in 2003 to accelerate the
development of the sector. By organising
workshops, lobbying and bringing together
aerospace-related companies, HAIF initiated
and oversaw the creation of the Hungarian
Aerospace Cluster (HAC) in 2006, the
first aerospace industrial group in Hungary
focusing on development and manufacturing.
HAC currently has 30 members.
In 2007, HAIF launched the AS9100
aerospace quality management project for
its members in tandem with the Ministry
of Transport. More than 30 companies
participated in the project and were certified
by the end of 2011.
In September 2007, HAIF founded the
Hungarian Aerospace Technology Platform
(HATP), a third key body designed to help
research and development organisations
participate in FP7 Framework programmes,
Clean Sky programs and bring together space
and aeronautical companies in Hungary.
HATP currently lists 31 organisations as
members, including three major universities.
Since its establishment HAIF has been acting
as a managing organization for both HAC
and HATP organizations and represents them
both internationally and domestically. Its
strategic role and collaborating approach
are key success factors in the growth and
development of the Hungarian Aeronautical
Industry.
Established in 1993, the Defence Industry
Association of Hungary
(www.vedelmiipar.hu) also lists several
aerospace suppliers among its members.
