By Nicolas Jeuland, Emeritus Expert on the Environmental Impact of Aviation and Future Fuels, Safran, AAE correspondent (lecture in french) The aviation industry is committed to carbon neutrality by 2050. To achieve this, the aviation industry is working on 3 main levers: the constant improvement of the fleet's energy efficiency, in particular through the development […]
The job of test pilot is a "small job". There must be fewer than a hundred active test pilots in France. Some work for the state, within DGA EV, others for manufacturers: Airbus, Dassault, Daher. Of course, it is a question of trying prototypes that have never flown, but also derived, modified or new configurations. […]
By Alexis Rouillard, CNRS researcher, IRAP Why is the Sun's atmosphere two hundred times hotter than its surface? How are solar winds and thunderstorms created? To answer these major questions in astrophysics, the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter space probes set out in 2018 and 2020 to discover the environment close to the Sun: […]

Hybrid electric aviation offers a new mode of regional transport for multiple applications: passenger transport, medical evacuation cargo, organ transport... Hybridization techniques are a first technological leap enabling general aviation to meet its carbon objectives as the best route to more sustainable aviation, compatible with the transition from kerosene to SAF. Hybridization will also enable […]
. By Franck Goldnadel, President of Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur The greening of aviation is often talked about by manufacturers and airlines, but less so by hospitality structures, which also have serious challenges to face. These include the airport's technical resources, the preparation of refuelling with new fuels, some of which are difficult to […]
