In partnership with the DLR, ONERA organised the 4th symposium on aircraft design collaboration in Toulouse. Researchers, academics and industrialists were able to discuss and launch initiatives.
This event, in partnership with its German counterpart the DLR, was attended by over 50 people from research centres and universities (Europe and United - States) as well as from the aviation industry (Airbus, Airbus Defence and Space, Dassault Aviation).
For three days, participants discussed subjects related to aircraft design: new configurations, evaluation of innovative technologies, multi-disciplinary optimisation and the development of integration tools; skills in Europe were able to be mapped; the publication of a permanent scientific journal on this theme is planned, etc.
The presentations are available on the symposium website ceas‐tcad2014
The discussions also enabled an international workshop on aircraft design, as well as concrete discussions with the AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics). Finally, in 2015, ONERA will chair together with the DLR the "Aircraft Design" Technical Committee of the CEAS (Council of European Aerospace Societies).
