A new laser measurement technique makes it possible to locate and characterize the noise at a distance. This is of great interest for aeronautical acoustics!

Carbon nanotubes, long extremely thin tubes discovered twenty years ago, are very promising for the elaboration of new sensors highly sensitive to pollutants and explosives.

While the phenomenon of stall is well-known (and feared) it remains a difficult issue in aerodynamics, and its accurate prediction is only possible by means of experiments in wind tunnels.

The French Optical Society, the Advanced Research Cluster “Physics Triangle” and ONERA celebrated 30 years of quantum engineering on May 24th 2011 in the Pierre Faurre amphitheater of the École Polytechnique. A powerful symbol of these golden years, a physicist, engineer and professor with communicative enthusiasm, it was quite natural that we dedicate this meeting to honor Emmanuel Rosencher. Report on a conference that was rich in physics.

PIV* is a method used to chart speeds in flows. The association of aerodynamicists and data processing specialists has made it possible to boost the performance of the method.

Aerospace Lab is an open access electronic journal dedicated to scientific progress in aeronautics and space research. The second issue "CFD Plateforms and Coupling" is now on line. 

ONERA, and Sofradir - a company specialising in infra-red detectors for military applications - unveiled their new 360° view infra-red detector in Orlando (USA).
