| 1. | Systems Control and Flight Dynamics - ONERA / DCSD |
| | DCSD is structured in Research Units (UR) : " Control and Decision making " Research Unit CD) " Control and Integration " Research Unit (CDIN) " Identification and Control " Research Unit (IDCO) " Control, Simulation and Flight testing " Research Unit (PSEV) " Flight Quality and Security " Research Unit (QSV)... |

| 2. | Light Planes and Gliders (ALEG3) |
| | Ground testing (vertical wind tunnel) and flight testing are conducted to identify the spin modes to which the aircraft may be subjected and the flight control manoeuvres required to exit from spin.... |

| 3. | Subsonic Aircraft (ASUB8) |
| | This has been the subject of much work, both experimental (wind-tunnel testing and model flight testing) and theoretical.... |

| 4. | DLR Simulator [ ACT-TILT ] |
| | Pre-flight testing of hardware and sofware components... |

| 5. | Military Aircraft (AMIL5) |
| | " Chimera " computationJettisoning of a payload such as a bomb, fuel tank or missile is analysed to ensure correct separation before flight testing in order to avoid the risks of collision and allow optimal control of the payload if it is controlled.. Until now, this was done by wind tunnel testing which consisted of dropping free falling models whose movement was filmed or reproducing the paths using a motor-driven payload support whose geometry could be changed during the test.. |

| 7. | Helicopters (HELI2) |
| | To reduce noise, ONERA develops numerical acoustic prediction methods validated by wind tunnel testing on models and flight testing on real helicopters.... |
