Onera is developing perfectly transparent ceramics for applications in the aerospace and defensesectors where requirements are rigorous in terms of mechanical and thermal resistance... This first for Onera opens up new horizons for the making of all types of windows with high mechanical resistance for the aerospace and defensesectors
During the 1990s, the defensesector learned lessons from conflicts (Gulf War, ex- Yugoslavia) that had thrust into prominence weaponry of precision and stealth. ONERA had been getting to grips with these topics even before these events occurred
On September 8 and 9, ONERA participate in the Summer Defense Conference, with Chairman and CEO Bruno Sainjon taking advantage of this opportunity to discuss the role that Research & Technology must play to ensure France's continued stance as a major aerospace power. The French (and European) aerospace industry is one of the increasingly rare industry sectors in which we still enjoy global status, with all that entails in terms of scientific, technological, industrial, economic and of course human challenges
Veritas for" directing and conducting research in aerospace and defense"... Onera, the French aerospace research center, was one of the pioneers in its sector in setting up a formal quality initiative, resulting in the 1997 certification of its Computing, Engineering and Testing facilities division, which manages its large fleet of wind tunnels
