Munich Aerospace hat vier zukunftsweisende Leitthemen definiert. Sie verankern die regionalen Kernkompetenzen und bieten Orientierung darüber, wie Bayern seine Forschung und Innovation erfolgreich gestalten kann. Dazu fördert Munich Aerospace Forschungsvorhaben seiner vier Mitglieder Technische Universität München, Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt in Oberpfaffenhofen, Universität der Bundeswehr München und Bauhaus Luftfahrt. Um den Technologietransfer zu beschleunigen, sind Unternehmen dazu eingeladen, sich an den Forschungsgruppen von Munich Aerospace zu beteiligen oder eigene Forschungsprojekte anzustoßen.
