Embraer and Poland’s Łukasiewicz Institute of Aviation have agreed to jointly develop new aircraft technologies and materials, the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer said Tuesday.

Francisco Gomes Neto, president and chief executive of Embraer, was in Warsaw to sign a memorandum of understanding on the project with Sylwester Wyka, acting director of Łukasiewicz.

Established almost 100 years ago, Łukasiewicz is one of Europe’s top aviation research centres. It focuses on materials, flight technologies, aeronautical design and maintenance processes.

“This MoU marks the beginning of a technological bridge between Poland and South America,” Wyka said. “Through collaboration with Embraer, we are combining our expertise with a global industry leader to jointly develop cutting-edge aviation and materials technologies.”

Embraer’s Neto said the collaboration is part of the company’s plan to deepen its engagement with the Polish aerospace ecosystem.

Based in São Paulo, Embraer is a leading player in the global aviation industry. The company has delivered more than 8,000 aircraft since its founding in 1969.

EmbraerBoeingCHICAGO — Boeing announced Saturday that it has terminated its Master Transaction Agreement (MTA) with Embraer.

Under the deal announced in late 2018, the two companies had planned to create a joint venture comprising Embraer’s commercial aviation business.

The $4.2-billion tie-up was mainly aimed at challenging Airbus in the market for midsize planes.

The two companies also planned a second joint venture to develop new markets for the C-390 Millennium military aircraft.

“Under the MTA, April 24, 2020, was the initial termination date, subject to extension by either party if certain conditions were met. Boeing exercised its rights to terminate after Embraer did not satisfy the necessary conditions,” Boeing said in a statement.

“Boeing has worked diligently over more than two years to finalize its transaction with Embraer. Over the past several months, we had productive but ultimately unsuccessful negotiations about unsatisfied MTA conditions.”

The planned partnership had received approval from all regulatory authorities, with the exception of the European Commission, Boeing said.

There was no immediate comment from Embraer.
