MONTREAL, April 11 /PRNewswire/ - eNGENUITY Technologies Inc., (TSE: EGY - news), a leading supplier of collaborative tools for the smart engineering of high- reliability systems over the Web, today announced that the VAPS product from its Virtual Prototypes division, has been selected by CargoLifter GmbH located in Briesen-Brand, Germany. VAPS will be used for the design and development of the unique cockpit avionics and displays required for CargoLifter`s revolutionary cargo-transporting airships. This order represents another major industry award for Virtual Prototypes` world-leading VAPS development tool.

CargoLifter is undertaking a program to develop a prototype cockpit including its avionics and a cargo-handling system for the world`s largest- ever airships. The revolutionary airships resulting from this development program will be used to transport outsized and heavy cargo loads around the world.

This highly publicized development program required that the tools chosen for the development of the avionics and cockpit systems provided CargoLifter with the ability to rapidly generate prototypes. These prototypes will be subjected to human factors, flight test, and pilot evaluation. Necessary changes can be incorporated into the designs, again using the same tools, easily and with minimum delay.

``CargoLifter expects to achieve significant savings through the use of Virtual Prototypes` VAPS and CCG Lite tools,`` said Ralph Maurer, Director of Development of CargoLifter Development GmbH. ``In turn, this should help us get our airships into the air where they can be earning a return on shareholders` investments alot sooner than if we tried to handcode the avionics displays ourselves.``

The additional benefit to CargoLifter of using VAPS is that the work completed during prototyping and subsequent design phases can be automatically provided to their chosen avionics supplier(s) in the VAPS format. At that point, the designs can be re-used by the supplier(s) in subsequent production and testing of the final cockpit fit. This increases the re-use of software, thus reducing costs, risks, and timescales while promoting a truly collaborative development and testing approach.

``We are very excited to have been selected by CargoLifter for this development program`` said Philippe Collard, President and CEO of eNGENUITY Technologies Inc. ``This is a very innovative endeavor that is being performed under the public microscope. eNGENUITY Technologies Inc. is committed to providing the tools CargoLifter requires to ensure that they rapidly develop their airships to a high level of quality, at a lower cost.``

ABOUT CARGOLIFTER

CargoLifter AG is based in Berlin and is developing a 260 metre long, 65 metre wide airship for transporting unusually large and heavy goods weighing up to 160 tonnes: the CargoLifter CL 160. Known as the `flying crane`, it aims to make expensive heavy goods transport quicker, simpler and more cost- effective - it will not land and will be almost completely independent of the existing infrastructure. In order to ensure that the airship develops in line with market needs, CargoLifter is operating a Lead User Concept in which it collaborates with different industrial companies. Shares in CargoLifter have been officially traded on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since May 2000 (stock ID 540 261, code CLA).

The CargoLifter Group currently employs more than 413 people, about 230 of which work on the development of the airship at its construction site in Briesen-Brand (Brandenburg). At this point in time Brand is the focal point of the company. The production hangar for the CL 160 was completed at the end of the year 2000. At 107 metres in height, 210 metres in width and 360 metres in length it is the largest hall in the world to be built without supporting pillars. The company set up the CargoLifter World theme park there in order to provide people with the opportunity to follow the development of the airship in real life - since opening in June 2000 it has attracted great interest. http://www.cargolifter.com.

Moin Moin!

Hört sich gut an. Jetzt interessiert mich nur noch,
was wirklich gespart wird:
a. an Entwicklungszeit
b. an Entwicklungskosten
c. an MEK (vgl. Eigenherst./Zukauf)
d. Zeit bis zur Serienreife

Gruß

.....er fliegt bald :-)

[carlidax]

Noch Fragen, CB etc. wer die Avionik baut? Stimmt! Honeywell ist es nicht.

[carlidax]

@DieUnke
Es wird nichts gespart gegenüber der bisherigen Nachrichtenlage, sondern es ist ein Teil der Erklärung, warum die Entwicklung des Luftschiffs so knapp terminiert werden kann, wo doch es doch laut einiger besserwissenden Fliegereiexperten völlig unmöglich ist, dass das Luftschiff vor Ablauf des Jahres 2011 musterzugelassen ist.

@carlidax

Wer baut denn die Avoinik? Jedenfalls hat CL jetzt ein gutes Softwareprogramm.

.....er fliegt bald :-)

[Gigamaster2000]

Eine wunderbare Nachricht für alle Aktionäre!! Bedauerlich nur, daß der "Stern" davon noch nichts wußte, denn dann wäre der Bericht heute wohl anders ausgefallen...

[Kehinde]

@ Unke & ballaX

Wer oder was fliegt wie bald? Meint Ihr, dass der Vorstand vor der Avionik fliegt?

Gruss, kehinde

[Turnaround2000]

@Kehinde

Soll dein Posting jetzt ein Muster der Sachlichkeit sein?

Es wäre schön, wenn Du deine offenbar vorhandene Großhirnkapazitäten für KONSTRUKTIVE Beiträge nutzen würdest, oder hast du mit der Bedeutung des Wortes Probleme ??

Zitat Ende:

Typische Reaktion von Leuten, denen nichts mehr einfällt

[Hammer52]

Ich habe mal eine ernsthafte Frage

Bedeutet die Mitteilung jetzt, dass die Cargoleute keine Firma gefunden hat, welche die Avionik machen will und
es deshalb selbst machen, oder ist sowas üblich. Wie lange dauert denn sowas in etwa? Ich meine von der Installierung der Software bis zum fertigen Produkt.

Gruss Hammer52

Was soll einem zu Cargolifter denn überhaupt noch einfallen?

Frohe Ostern, kehinde!
