  • 1 ONERA's expertise at the core of ESO's future European Extremely Large Telescope E-ELT

    the synergy between multiple fundamental research projects and European projects of the 7th Framework Programme... The goal: to conduct fundamental research to enable France to maintain its leadership in the field
  • 2 ONERA, a world-class leader in CFD

    Moreover, during the AIAA conference, ONERA presented its state of the art and its main fundamental research activities during a guest session which brought together the leading research and industrial centres of the European and American aeronautical sector. *CFD
  • 3 Assisting Combustion with Plasma

    A plasma is a partially ionized gas, i.e. the electrons of certain molecules have been ejected1." The plasma makes the fuel more reactive, which means that engines can be run at speeds at which they are usually unstable" explains Axel Vincent, a researcher in the Onera's Fundamental and Applied Energetics Department at Palaiseau
  • 4 Academy of Sciences

    Although he has done most of his work in industrial laboratories, at the Cnet in Grenoble and the Thomson central research laboratory, Emmanuel Rosencher has always concentrated on upstream research, without ever losing sight of potential applications. This is the case, for example, of multi-quantum-well infrared detectors that represented an advance in both fundamental and applied terms
