It was Boeing that withdrew in 2020 from the joint venture with Embraer, but that doesn’t mean that the US airframer is no longer interested in the know-how of the Brazilian aerospace industry. On the contrary. Right in the front garden of Embraer in Sao Jose dos Campos, Boeing opened a new Engineering & Technology Center on Tuesday.
Boeing says the new center is an expansion of the existing Advanced Research & Technology Center that was opened in 2014 and which already employs some 500 engineers. The new one is the fifteenth E&T site around the world and will develop advanced technology for various aerospace applications in civil, defense, and space.
Engineering, Strategy and Operations, Lynne Hopper, said in a media statement, Boeing has learned to appreciate working with the Brazilians. “Boeing’s longstanding partnership with Brazil dates back more than ninety years, and during that time, we have collaborated with the Brazilian aerospace industry and community to tap into the incredible technical abilities and problem-solving skills of Brazilian engineers. Their expertise strengthens our commitment to engineering excellence and positions us to tackle the next generation of challenges in our industry.”
