By Alberto Rossi, Head of Propulsion, Pyrotechnics and Aerothermodynamics, CNES. Space propulsion systems have a big influence on our ability to travel to other planets or how a satellite can provide cheap telecommunications services. This conference aims to provide an up-to-date overview of all kinds of propulsion systems ranging from conventional (Chemical) technology, from nuclear […]

The EU is fast becoming […]
By Pascal Dauriac, Head of R&T and Future Programs, Safran Helicopter Engines. The helicopter, like all air transport, is emerging from an unprecedented crisis caused by COVID19, despite very specific types of use. If it did not go through this period in the same way as commercial aviation, it shares with it the same ambition […]
Organised by the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) and the Air and Space Academy (AAE) this free to attend lecture aims to pool current knowledge on the issue of Aviation and Climate and present the analyses and reflections of the two organisations on the following themes: What is the impact of CO2 and non-CO2 aviation emissions […]

By Peter von Ballmoos, astrophysicist, teacher-researcher at the University of Toulouse, IRAP. Dark 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 […]
By Stéphane Viala, Senior Vice President Engineering, Head of Design Organization, ATR ATR (Regional Transport Aircraft) is the world leader in the regional turboprop segment. 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 […]
Lecture by Michel Wachenheim, president of Air & Space Academy The 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 […]
By Sylvestre Maurice, astrophysicist at IRAP, specialist in Martian exploration, correspondent of the AAE. These are great times! To date, 12 vehicles are operational around Mars or on its surface. 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 […]
By Willy Benz, Professor of Astrophysics, University of Bern, President-Elect International Astronomical Union (IAU), AAE correspondent. The discovery of the first exoplanet in 1995 by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz (discovery awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2019) triggered a real revolution in astronomy with the aim of characterizing these planets and searching for life […]
By Gal. Jean-Daniel Testé, former Joint Space Commander, France Director of AEROSPACELAB, AAE correspondent. In a world where space risks and threats (debris proliferation, anti-satellite weapons experimentation, unfriendly actions in space) are steadily increasing, accurate knowledge of space activities is today a great challenge for space nations around the world. France and Europe must play […]
Civilian drones have developed rapidly, but several ambitions remain unmet for technical or regulatory reasons. Many business applications are already up and running; we can already analyze the achievements of Air France and SNCF. (Lecture will be done in french) "Small drones, big ambitions" by Stéphane MORELLI, Head of Drone Simulation Products, Sogitec […]
