Research

From the study of revolutionary air and space craft, capable of moving autonomously and at speeds eight times greater than traditional airliners, to innovative systems to reduce environmental impact, increase flight safety, make surveillance more effective right up to developing and verifying in its own labs systems to re-enter the atmosphere from space and land on Mars: there is no sector of advanced aeronautical and space research which CIRA, the Italian Aerospace Research Center, is not involved in. CIRA, a unique institution in Italy, plays its role directly or partnering with small and large companies at a domestic, European or global level, and with bodies and institutions ranging from NASA to the European Space Agency, the European Commission and the Chinese Aerospace Academy.
