As a result, the Spanish company is now part of the select group of companies participating in the European Eurodrone project, focused on the development and manufacturing of a remotely piloted unmanned drone considered strategic by the European Union to ensure its technological autonomy, territorial defence and air security.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"856\" data-end=\"1272\">As part of the project, Airtificial has been entrusted with the manufacturing of cowlings, composite material components that enable the drone\u2019s propulsion system to operate correctly. These are the fairings that protect the engines and optimise their performance. They are critical components for ensuring the system\u2019s efficiency and reliability, and require a high level of precision in both design and production.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1274\" data-end=\"2034\">Airtificial\u2019s participation in Eurodrone represents a further recognition of the Company\u2019s experience in the aerospace sector, both in the replacement of metal parts and in programmes originally designed around this type of material, which helps reduce aircraft weight, increase energy efficiency and lower fuel consumption. Specifically, Airtificial\u2019s Aerospace &amp; Defense division brings its expertise in advanced engineering and the manufacturing of highly complex structural components, which it already produces for the world\u2019s leading aviation OEMs, in both the civil and military sectors. In 2024, the division manufactured more than 60,000 aircraft parts in composite materials of various sizes, ranging from nearly two metres to just a few centimetres.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2036\" data-end=\"2759\">Eurodrone, whose development is led by Airbus Defence and Space together with other leading European companies in the sector, is a key project for the European Union, with the participation of Spain, France, Germany and Italy. The Eurodrone project also symbolises Europe\u2019s commitment to industrial cooperation in defence and to reducing dependence on external technologies. \u201cFor Airtificial, being part of this initiative strengthens our position as a technology partner in strategic programmes with international reach, aligning us with the vision of a more autonomous Europe with greater response capabilities in a constantly changing global environment,\u201d said <strong>Guillermo Fern\u00e1ndez de Pe\u00f1aranda, CEO of Airtificial Group.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2761\" data-end=\"3225\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Participation in this programme not only strengthens Airtificial\u2019s relationship with Airbus and the European aerospace industry, but also drives the creation of knowledge and high value-added employment in Spain. In doing so, the company consolidates its role within the European innovation ecosystem and reinforces its growth strategy in the aerospace sector, an industry set to play a key role in the continent\u2019s technological transformation and future security.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"5459\" data-end=\"6115\">\n<p data-start=\"5459\" data-end=\"6115\"><strong data-start=\"5459\" data-end=\"5480\">About Airtificial<\/strong><br data-start=\"5480\" data-end=\"5483\" \/>Airtificial provides global and innovative design and manufacturing solutions for the automotive, civil aerospace and defence industries, infrastructure, and other industrial sectors, integrating advanced technologies such as robotics and artificial intelligence which, together with human interaction, contribute to more sustainable development.
