Shinshu University held the opening ceremony of "Aircraft System Joint Research Course" and "Skill Up Course for Adults" at Minami Shinshu / Iida Satellite Campus in Zakoji, Iida City, Nagano Prefecture.We are advancing new research and development in the aerospace field, aiming to produce highly-skilled human resources in the Iida region and the aircraft industry.

 According to Shinshu University, at the commemorative ceremony, there was a greeting from the President of Shinshu University and an oath of the new student representative, followed by an introduction of research staff and an open class for adult skill improvement courses.

 Japan has developed a domestic jet MRJ to revive the aircraft industry, which has been disrupted for a long time since the postwar YS11, and is preparing for its service.However, 7% of the cost of aircraft parts are overseas products.Since safety and security are the top priorities for aircraft parts, it is difficult for new entrants to enter the market, and there is an urgent need to develop companies that can overcome barriers to entry.

 The Shinshu Iida area has been designated as a special aircraft industry zone, and the aircraft industry is being developed centered on Tamagawa Seiki (Iida City, President Norifumi Ogimoto).In response to this, Shinshu University decided to open a joint research course on aircraft systems at the Iida Satellite Campus in Minami Shinshu to promote full-scale education and research activities and human resource development.

 Furthermore, in October 2016, Shinshu University established the "Aerospace Systems Research Center" at the Next Generation Cluster Research Center of the Advanced Area Fusion Research Group, and is focusing on research and development in the technical fields related to next-generation aircraft and rockets.
