At our company, we firmly believe that innovation leads the way. Without a firm commitment to R&D, there is no future: it is this drive that allows us to anticipate the future, lead technological transformation, and move toward an increasingly sustainable and efficient aviation industry.

We are fully aware that this challenge requires us to look beyond traditional approaches and open ourselves up to the development of new aviation solutions that respond to the emerging needs of our sector. Adapting is not enough; we must be able to anticipate and shape the future, exploring technologies, materials and processes that redefine the way we design and manufacture aircraft.

We recognize that this journey is not one we undertake independently. Progress is achieved through collaboration, which involves working closely with our supply chain, sharing knowledge and challenges with other industry players (including our competitors), and promoting joint projects with universities and technology centers, both domestic and international. This network of partnerships expands our ability to generate disruptive solutions and accelerates the development of technologies that will shape the aviation programs of the future.

This approach has enabled us, during this year, to reach our highest historical figure for R&D investment and the critical technological maturity level in many of our strategic projects to establish the technological development priorities for the 2026-2029 period.
