VPH Partner Landscape

The Virtual Product House as an integration platform is based on interdisciplinary engineering and software teams and a flexible partner network.

As such, several DLR institutes with expertise in various disciplines (for example, aerodynamics, structures, systems, software and simulation) work together at the VPH in Bremen in a collaborative way. The activities of the VPH are also closely linked to the research topics of the newly founded DLR institutes and are embedded into DLR’s strategy for the 'digitalisation of aeronautics'.

A key objective and strength of the VPH is its close cooperation with the aviation industry. The following industry partners for example are participating in the VPH, e.g. via projects or the VPH advisory board:

  • Airbus Operations (Bremen)
  • Liebherr Aerospace
  • IABG
  • FFT Produktionssysteme

The VPH also cooperates with universities, certification authorities (e.g. the EASA) and the software industry to address the ambitious goals towards virtual or simulation-based certification.
