Breunig Aerospace was founded in 2017 as an independent engineering office and has since developed into a small, highly qualified team of engineers and scientists. We are based in Würzburg, Germany, close to the geographical center of the EU and within a few hours of many key space and aviation sites. Our staff combines backgrounds in space science, aerospace engineering, electronics, software and aviation and is supported by comprehensive in-house design, prototyping and test facilities. Both inform the way we operate: we address problems that lack established solutions; we design, manufacture and test hardware, software and complete systems; we retain responsibility for our work from initial concept through delivery and verification.
The milestones below document this development, from hardware for space observatories to the first flight of an electric drive train developed by Breunig Aerospace.
