Simply because his obsession is to spend less to cost less\, especially since for 50 years oil has been more and more expensive. Technological developments are often staged. For barely ten years these innovations have been linked and constitute the expected break because they become economically viable. This is the sesame of the metamorphosis of aviation. It was in 2018 that AURA AERO was founded to take the path. Its choice is to respond quickly and pragmatically to the challenges and demands of light and sports aviation\, but also to the renewal of regional aviation\, of which nearly 3\,000 aircraft are expected by 2050. \n\n\n Free admission (subject to availability).\n \nIn partnership with: \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n\n\n [image]©AURA-AERO-ERA-Electric-Regional-Aircraft URL:https://academieairespace.com/event/decarbonisation-of-aviation-a-race-against-time/?lang=en CATEGORIES:AAE public and free,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://academieairespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/10-24-©AURA-AERO-ERA-Electric-Regional-Aircraft-1-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20231011T123000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20231011T140000 DTSTAMP:20260530T115543 CREATED:20230629T081553Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230629T082913Z UID:73085-1697027400-1697032800@academieairespace.com SUMMARY:Aviation was born with oil : so what now?

DESCRIPTION:By Alain Cassier\, President of the Program Committee of the UAM by e-VTOL conference\, fellow of the AAE \nMany multi-rotor electric vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) projects are emerging and target the urban air taxi and urban aeromobility (UAM= Urban Air Mobility) markets. They give hope that everyone will soon be able to move around the city by flying over traffic jams without generating environmental nuisance thanks to electric motorization. Even though some of these projects are reaching the flight test stage and appear close to commissioning\, there are still hurdles to overcome to make this dream a reality. It is therefore proposed to study the conditions under which an urban air transport service could be rapidly deployed. \n\n\n Free admission (subject to availability).\n \n\n In partnership with:\n \n\n\n\n \n\n \n \n\n\n\n[image] ©AAE URL:https://academieairespace.com/event/electric-aircraft-the-future-of-urban-mobility/?lang=en CATEGORIES:AAE public and free,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://academieairespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/headeruam.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20230530T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20230530T180000 DTSTAMP:20260530T115543 CREATED:20230112T074340Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230112T085622Z UID:70499-1685469600-1685469600@academieairespace.com SUMMARY:Aviation was born with petrol: now what?

Two possible practical operational implementations are considered \, either an airborne “metro” or a classical airborne taxi. A comprehensive review of a selection of existing projects reveals the multitude of options and indicates a wide range of performances difficult to understand for vehicles supposedly aimed at the same specification . The identification of the state of the art and development perspective of the main components of the propulsion chain and of the “glider” are then presented. This enables a selection of a preferred configuration based upon the tandem wings concept which is presented with some details \, and its preliminary performance assessment and a comparison with the targeted specification requirements and the published data. \nThe technical risks associated with the full size development of these vehicles are then reviewed. The main one is the safety aspect which is under the control of the certification agencies (EASA\,NASA \,CAAC \, ….) which have published independent requirements \, in particular the EASA “Special Condition VTOL Aircraft” \, July 2019 \, which is commented. Numerous points of concern are identified \, in particular the management of the propulsion system failure and the precautions necessary to prevent or mitigate battery fire. Another major point is the acoustic nuisance which deserved a specific analysis \, defining demanding target noise levels to enable public acceptance and reviewing the noise characteristics of distributed propulsion systems.\nIt is concluded that with the current battery technology performances \, e-VTOL can just meet the Uber specification requirements \, but major issues such as acoustic nuisances \, costs of operation and development of the infrastructures deserve further analysis. \n\nFree registration required \n(subject to availability) \nOops!

A trophy of national supremacy\, a field of technological experimentation\, a source of wonder for the people who fervently follow this adventure\, the exploration of the red planet represents the most beautiful quest for scientists who methodically seek if the Martians have existed… They are preparing the next step: the collection of samples that will be brought back to Earth within 10 years\, while waiting in the longer term\, the ultimate challenge: a manned flight to Mars. \nImage credit: ©NASAJPL-CaltechASUMSSS-Perseverance Selfie \n\n\n Free admission (without registration). \n \nThe cycle of conferences “D’Air et d’Espace” 2022 resumes from April only in person \n\n\nIn partnership with: URL:https://academieairespace.com/event/mars-in-search-of-life/?lang=en CATEGORIES:AAE public and free,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://academieairespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/mars.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20220601T123000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20220601T140000 DTSTAMP:20260530T115543 CREATED:20220504T124812Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220504T131424Z UID:67606-1654086600-1654092000@academieairespace.com SUMMARY:Air transport in crisis and the climate challenge DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Michel Wachenheim\, president of Air & Space Academy \nThe lecture will present the challenges that aviation has to overcome for decarbonising its activities: clear and believable communication\, technology capabilities including infrastructure\, economic impacts\, global interoperability including international strategies\, and common assessment of the societal value of air transport. This presentation will refer to the International Conference “Air transport in crisis and the climate challenge” organised by the Air and Space Academy in March 2021\, along with recommendations published recently in the form of an Opinion and works carried out within its commission dedicated to energy and environment. The objective will be to highlight the complexity of the actions needed\, the urgency of effective actions associated with some political willingness\, but also a real perspective of reaching a successful outcome. \n\nRegistration required (Free admission subject to availability):\nOops!

ATR created in 1981 to celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2021. Since its creation\, the ATR has relied on a low carbon footprint by implementing a policy of incremental evolution of the product and its services. With a consumption of 40% lower than regional jets and -20% compared to other turboprops in the regional market\, ATR has been able to evolve its engines\, avionics and systems while innovating and remaining at the forefront of technology. Minimizing the carbon footprint of our products as well as the impact of our business has always been in our DNA. That is why in this presentation we will share our vision of the future of regional aviation and ATR’s contribution to reducing the carbon footprint of aeronautics through an incremental and realistic approach. \nImage credit:© ATR \n\n\n Free admission (without registration). \n \nThe cycle of conferences “D’Air et d’Espace” 2022 resumes from April only in person \n\n \n\n In partnership with: URL:https://academieairespace.com/event/decarbonizing-regional-aviation-an-incremental-approach/?lang=en CATEGORIES:AAE public and free,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://academieairespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/atr.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20220426T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20220426T180000 DTSTAMP:20260530T115543 CREATED:20220112T103443Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220407T134654Z UID:65222-1650996000-1650996000@academieairespace.com SUMMARY:Light on the dark side of the Universe DESCRIPTION:By Peter von Ballmoos\, astrophysicist\, teacher-researcher at the University of Toulouse\, IRAP. \nDark matter\, dark energy\, inflation\, baryonic asymmetry are today essential hypotheses to explain the Universe we observe. While the very nature of these hypotheses remains stubbornly obscure\, their mathematical formalism manages to model the observations with a very high degree of precision. This paradox reminds us of the situation in which astronomy found itself until Kepler’s time: the modeling of epicycles was successfully used to describe the apparent motion of planets. And the same question we have been asking ever since: is “saving phenomena” enough? \nImage credit: © R.R \n\n\n Free admission (without registration). \n \nThe cycle of conferences “D’Air et d’Espace” 2022 resumes from April only in person \n\n\n\n In partnership with: URL:https://academieairespace.com/event/light-on-the-dark-side-of-the-universe/?lang=en CATEGORIES:AAE public and free,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://academieairespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/dark.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20220406T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20220406T183000 DTSTAMP:20260530T115543 CREATED:20220318T131122Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220318T140759Z UID:66678-1649264400-1649269800@academieairespace.com SUMMARY:Air transport crisis and climate change DESCRIPTION:Lecture in English \nOrganised by the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeronáutica y del Espacio (ETSIAE) and the Air and Space Academy (AAE). \nPROGRAMME\n\n17:00 – Welcome address by Mrs. Cristina Cuerno\, Director of ETSIAE\n17:05 – The Air and Space Academy by Mr. Antonio Viñolo\, Vice President of the AAE\n17:10 – The Air Transport in Crisis and the Climate Change by Mr. Michel Wachenheim\, President of the AAE.\n17.30 – Round Table\n\nModerator: Mr. Gustavo Alonso\,  ETSIAE’s Professor \nParticipants:\n\nMr. Michel Wachenheim\, AAE\nMr. Alfredo Iglesias\, AESA (Spanish Aviation Safety Agency)\nMr. Manuel Huertas\, Airbus\nMr. Óscar Castro\, COIAE (Official College of Aeronautical Engineers of Spain)\n\nSession closure by Prof. Gustavo Alonso \n\nDue to COVID-19 restrictions\, attendance is limited. \nPrior registration is required at: sdirector.aeroespacial@upm.es \n \n\nAAE Publication on the same topic: Opinion No.13 on “Air transport in crisis and the climate challenge; towards new paradigms” URL:https://academieairespace.com/event/air-transport-crisis-and-climate-change/?lang=en CATEGORIES:AAE public and free,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://academieairespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/avisweb-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
