Onera is taking part in ICE, a project to verify the principle of equivalence on the microscopic scale, using measurements with a cooled atom accelerometer... Onera is specifically in charge of the laser partof the project which, in particular, has the objective of cooling the atoms to a temperature of a few micro-Kelvins, revealing their wave properties which are the key to the ultra-accurate measurements sought
These tests, performed on a large scale model, are partof the European project NICETRIP, of which the purpose is to study the technological feasibility of a civilian convertible aircraft. Future projects should allow a flight demonstrator to be made in Europe
