Within the framework of its Public Session, the Air and Space Academy proposes a series of conferences on the theme "Extraordinary Aeronautical Journeys". From 11:15 to 12:30 "La Part du Rêve d’Icare" byJean-Jacques SPEYER Professor, Thesis Supervisor at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, member of the Academy "Bombardements aériens et mémoire, entre histoire et politique" […]
// This study session will be presented in Spanish During this study session the companies of the sector will present the state of their developments. In this day dedicated to "Small Launchers" and organised by the Centre for the Technological and Industrial Development, CDTI, and the Air and Space Academy (AAE), Antonio Fuentes will present […]
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 […]
This lecture will be done in Spanish This lecture organised by the Asociación de Ingenieros Aeronáuticos de España (AIAE), and the Air and Space Academy, AAE. Presented by, Antonio Abad, Chief Technical and Operations Officer at HISPASAT, member of Air and Space Academy Digital highways are the backbone of a modern economy and society. 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 […]
Lecture in English Organised by the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeronáutica y del Espacio (ETSIAE) and the Air and Space Academy (AAE). PROGRAMME 17:00 - Welcome address by Mrs. Cristina Cuerno, Director of ETSIAE 17:05 - The Air and Space Academy by Mr. Antonio Viñolo, Vice President of the AAE 17:10 - The Air Transport […]
Continuous observations from satellites over multiple decades have provided a critical contribution to our knowledge and understanding of climate change. This incredible technology has helped determine accurate variations of key climate parameters such as sea level, greenhouse gases, arctic sea ice and forest cover. Going forward into the new decade the space sector is showing […]
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 […]
Mini Symposium in cooperation between the DGLR (Fachbereich L2 - Bemannte Luftfahrzeuge) and the Air and Space Academy Ultraefficient Aircraft technologies for low drag, low weight and low specific fuel consumption are more important than ever to master the challenge towards more sustainable flight. Significant efficiency improvements are mandatory to limit the fuel consumption for next generation […]
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 […]
