With the theme" ONERA thinks up and tests future breakthroughs", the French aerospace research centre will highlight its technological innovations and its ability to design complexsystems for aircraft of the future, both civilian and military. On this occasion, ONERA is presenting three strategic, economic and environmental topics
Over the last fifteen years, optics have undergone developments comparable to those that created the phenomenal success of electronics half a century ago: miniaturization, integration of complexsystems and introduction into the activities and needs of the general public. This kind of optics longer has much to do with that of mirrors and lenses, whose sizes could be counted in centimeters at the least
This with, as Riad has said, an intangible principle: to trace out the entire development chain, from the beginning of the study, in order to envisage that the same high-tech object will be used to demonstrate physical effects before being integrated into a complexsystem (for example an infra-red camera), in order to show its applicative potential
Aeronautics and the management of air space are fields in which many players are involved and for which we are developing sub-assemblies of complexsystems. Therefore, it is not surprising if the leading position occupied by Thales is the result of a strategy of judiciously chosen partnerships
ONERA Wind Tunnel Division test facilities offer large capabilities for testing military aircraft full models or complex dedicated testing services (air intake, captive trajectory, store effects, nozzle....) using adequate hardware throughout the flight envelope... -2 systems available (1 in, 1 in
