The company's aeronautics division regularly conducts studies with a view to developing of its range of aircraft. Within the framework of current projects, Daher-Socata has signed an exclusive agreement under which it will be evaluating, over a period of several months, the performance and technical characteristics of a twin-engine prototype aircraft built entirely using composites.

This project is part of the continuous optimization initiative launched by the European aircraft and equipment supplier. Since the integration of Socata in 2009, aircraft manufacturing has become one of Daher’s strategic activities. All the developments carried out by Daher-Socata form a part of Daher group’s differentiation strategy within the Aerospace sector. The evaluation of a new business aircraft program illustrates the group's commitment to sustaining and developing aircraft construction, one of the division's core areas of expertise, alongside aerostructures, services and technological specialties.
