The year 2024 was a milestone for Akaer. With projects that strengthened its technological leadership in the Aerospace and Defense sectors, the company reached new markets, consolidating an important projection on the global stage. At the same time, it expanded its leading role in initiatives that are fundamental to Brazil's sovereignty.

One of its main achievements was achieving the status of Tier 1 Global Supplier, a first among Brazilian companies in the aerospace sector. The qualification, which highlights Akaer's ability to develop and supply complete, highly complex systems and structures for global manufacturers, is the result of a contract with the German company Deutsche Aircraft for the production, in Brazil, of the forward fuselage of the D328eco, a 40-seat turboprop designed for regional transport, rescue missions, military operations and firefighting. The first deliveries are scheduled for 2026.
“Tier 1 status is the result of more than three decades of dedication and innovation. This achievement reflects the talent of our team, the commitment of our partners and the technical quality that defines us. We will continue to elevate Brazil's reputation in the aerospace sector”, stated Cesar Silva, CEO of Akaer.
However, this was not the group's only milestone in the international market in 2024. In December, Akaer was selected to manufacture the structure, also in Brazil, of the first Portuguese aircraft – the LUS-222, a twin-engine high-wing aircraft designed for civil and military missions. The agreement signed with EEA Aircraft and Maintenance includes the fuselage, complete wing, horizontal and vertical stabilizers and all control surfaces of the new aircraft, with production starting in 2025. This is the first time that a Brazilian company will manufacture the entire structure of a regional transport and cargo aircraft.
Strategic Partnerships
Reinforcing its long-standing partnership with Embraer, Akaer confirmed its participation in two globally relevant projects in 2024: the C-390 Millennium military freighter and the Praetor 600 executive jet, taking on the assembly of the fuel tanks for both aircraft and the POD and JAMMER pylons for the C-390 Millennium.
The company also announced the delivery of the first essential tooling for the HondaJet Echelon (HA-480) for manufacturing the aircraft's tail.
The year was also marked by progress in the HÜRJET program, with the flight of the second prototype of TAI's (Turkish Aerospace Industries) supersonic fighter. Akaer contributed to the development and detailing of the structural design, in addition to the installation of the fuselage systems, reinforcing its expertise in highly complex technological programs.
“Our commitment to excellence is what sets us apart in the market. Each project is an opportunity to raise the standard of Brazilian aerospace engineering,” stated Cesar Silva.
National Sovereignty
Akaer has reaffirmed its leading role in projects that highlight the company’s technical competence and, at the same time, reinforce Brazil’s technological autonomy and strategic capacity in the defense and aerospace sector. With cutting-edge modernization and development initiatives, the company consolidates its role as a key player in national sovereignty.
The Cascavel NG, an armored vehicle modernized by Akaer for the Brazilian Army, successfully passed the first phases of testing carried out by the corporation and was presented to the public for the first time. Equipped with state-of-the-art defense systems, such as daytime and thermal cameras, a missile launcher system, and an automated turret, the vehicle has gained agility, precision, and greater combat capability.
Also highlighting the progress made in projects carried out by Akaer, in May 2024, the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) P-3AM Orion maritime patrol aircraft successfully completed its first flight after the wing modernization, conducted by the company.
The project involved the replacement of several primary elements of all wing assemblies, such as upper skins, front and rear spars, and upper and lower panels of the central boxes.
The P3 plays an important role in intelligence, surveillance, and protection of natural resources, such as pre-salt reserves, missions.
Towards space
In the space field, Akaer advanced in the VLN AKR project by obtaining the launch license and successfully completing the Preliminary Requirements Review. The initiative will place Brazil in the select group of nations with autonomy to launch satellites.
With a focus on nano and microsatellites, the launch vehicle will operate within national territory. The launch is expected to take place in the first half of 2027.
Another milestone for the Brazilian Space Program, the VCUB 1 nanosatellite released its first images of the Earth in October, taken with the OPTO 3UCAM camera, developed by Akaer. This is the first reflective camera designed and produced in Brazil and is capable of taking high-definition images of the Earth's surface – a pod
and identify objects at least 3.5 meters across from space, covering a scanning range of 14 km.
Expanding Horizons
Akaer's technological expertise transcended the aerospace sector in 2024, making its presence felt in other strategic markets, such as agribusiness. One example is the development of high-performance batteries for Solix agricultural robots, which represent a significant advance in field automation.
Using the same lithium battery technology applied in the aerospace sector, Akaer has developed solutions that meet the most rigorous quality and performance standards. Solix robots operate 24 hours a day, analyzing crops, identifying weeds and applying herbicides accurately. This level of automation reduces the use of agricultural pesticides by up to 90%, minimizing environmental impacts and optimizing costs.
The project, which integrates sustainability and innovation, also reduces carbon emissions. The robots use rechargeable batteries with solar energy, replacing machines and aircraft powered by fossil fuels.
