Abstract	The Aviation Cluster of the Hamburg Metropolitan Region is Germany’s leading industry cluster. With its integrated strategy for “A New Kind of Aviation”, the Hanseatic aviation industry emerged out of of the nationwide, cross-sectoral competition of 38 industry clusters as one of five winners to share federal support. The new cluster strategy incorporates three milestone projects: “Cabin technology and innovative fuel cell applications”, “Extended MRO competence for new aircraft generations” and “Efficient airport 2030”. These three beacon projects are headed by Airbus, Lufthansa Technik and the German Aerospace Center (DLR), respectively, and involve a substantial number of smaller enterprises, as well as academic and research institutes. The overall strategy calls for the implementation of more than 20 projects and measures in the areas of research & technology and cluster management. The holistic approach to “A New Kind of Aviation”, and its three beacon projects, aptly reflect the Ham-burg aviation industry’s core competencies. The Aviation Cluster integrates the entire value chain, from aircraft construction and the complete aircraft life cycle to the air transportation system as a whole. Thus, the Hamburg metropolitan region is responding to the increase in air traffic by developing new, more economical concepts and solutions to take aviation to a new level of efficiency, comfort, reliability and flexibility. The Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) is one of the youngest universities in Germany as well as one of the most successful. The fundamental principles of the TUHH are unique in Germany; priority is given to research, interdisciplinary studies and innovation. Also central to our approach is a close working relationship with regional industries and, more recently, the achievement of international scale. Frank Thielecke is head of the Institute of Aircraft Systems Engineering which is part of the department of mechanical engineering. Teaching Activities: • Fundamentals of Aircraft Systems • Aircraft Systems I-III • Design of mechanical Systems • Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics (with others) • Reliability of Systems (with others) Research Activities and on-going projects: • Multi-disciplinary modelling and simulation of aircraft and its systems • Demonstration and evaluation of technologies for More-Electric-Aircraft e.g new actuation systems, sensors, integrated modular avionics • Concepts and methods for health monitoring and design-for-diagnosability • Systems and functions for more autonomous aircrafts (ULTRA and AUROS project) • Design methods to handle the ever increasing complexity of flight systems • Applications in the field of safety critical and embedded systems
