Diehl’s experience in equipping aircraft stretches back to the 1950s when Diehl Aerospace made a name for itself as a reliable and proven partner prepared to invest intensively in new technologies and developments. The result was a range of versatile products capable of meeting the highest of military requirements. Today, Diehl Aerospace is one of the leading innovators in the field of aviation. This is how the company has grown into one of the largest suppliers of avionics systems in Germany, already leading the way in the areas of Flight Control, Engine Control, Cockpit Display Systems, Integrated Modular Avionics, and Mission and Platform Avionics.
Alongside the development and series delivery of these products, Diehl also carries out repairs for and offers after-sales support to its clients. This is what has made the company a long-term, reliable partner to its public-sector customers.
The products developed and manufactured by Diehl are used in various different aircraft, further highlighting the versatility of the company. Whether it’s for a fighter plane, freight planes, or a helicopter: all of the solutions Diehl offers have been proven through decades of use. This extensive experience is also the best foundation for future developments. Ready for the Combat System of the Future!
Diehl has actively worked with the military since contributing to various VTOL platforms in the 1960s, such as the VJ 101, Do 31, and the VAK 191B. This cooperation formed the basis for the successful development of versatile products across other platforms as well as providing the opportunity to participate in notable national and international projects. At the start of the 1970s, joint work on the Alpha Jet symbolized an important milestone in German-French cooperation; Diehl Aerospace supplied the Head-Up Display for this project, as well as many other products. And as a result, the work package for the Tornado was considerably more comprehensive. Many Diehl products have proven worthy in the cockpit, in flight control, and in engine control – and still do so to this day. Building on this success, the consortium leader for the Eurofighter program entrusted many responsibilities to the competencies of Diehl Aerospace. Versatile solutions for the cockpit, flight control, and other control systems have proven themselves time and again on board the Eurofighter.
