The submission of three ONERA scientists (Thomas Dubot, Antoine Joulia & Judicaël Bedouet), "Managing the 2035 air traffic through clustered self-separation out of 4D protection bubbles", was awarded with the of the Sky for All challenge, which increases ONERA's visibility in terms of ATM prospective
The A350 made its maiden flight on the eve of the Paris Air Show 2013. In May, Onera'steam of specialists was on deck day and night to pass the vibration tests on the ground in record time... The DLR and ONERAteams took up the challenge in" a just-in-time" atmosphere
As part of the preparation of demonstrations of aeromaritime scenarios for the Action project, an Onerateam went to Argelès-sur-Mer (South of France) for a campaign to assess the behavior of the Ressac UAV over the sea. A ship maneuvering on the surface was monitored using laser and camera data
Within the framework of a doctoral thesis, an Onerateam succeeded in producing in 2010, with a ZnSe: Cr laser (medium infrared- 2 m range), 60 ps pulses (60 10 12 s) with a frequency of 220 MHz. A laser quite close in its functioning to the Titanium Sapphire Laser, which is the most commonly used for ultrashort pulses (infrared visible limit- 0 8 m)
A team from ONERA made a laser source based on optical fibers in the laboratory, which generates a 1 7 kW peak at 1580nm suitable for measuring CO2. This is a record for this wavelength that is not very favorable for fibered technology... However, this is what an Onerateam achieved in the laboratory, generating fibers with a 1 7 kW peak power at a wavelength of 1580 nm, which is a world record
An ONERAteam of specialists in electromagnetic compatibility gathered in Kourou in April 2011 to qualify the Soyuz launch site in regard to lightning protection... At the time of the Soyuz launch, the ONERAteam will be present on the launch pad of the Vega small launcher, whose first commercial launch is planned for 2012
The first general nanoscience research programme, bringing together several ONERAteams, was implemented and then deployed in three successive programmes, the latest of which is called Sanaa... "We took particular care with the measurement protocol, in order to obtain reliable and reproducible results, since nanotubes are highly extremely sensitive to some gas, the method has to provides evident proof of what is being detected." That study is handled by Olivier Le Traon, ONERA'steam expert in micro-sensors
Onera'steams had begun studies which would contribute to define and design the plane even before" the A3XX" project was launched in August 1994. For the last 10 years, some 340 Onera staff members have been involved in the development of the A380. Onera has also provided its outstanding testing facilities and its most sophisticated modeling and simulation tools, which contributed greatly to the success of the A380 program
