  • The challenges of propulsion of the rotary wing aircraft of the future

    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 […]

  • RAeS Conference – Towards a Space Enabled Net Zero Earth

    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 […]

  • Light on the dark side of the Universe

    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 […]

  • Ultraefficient Aircraft Technologies – Key Building Blocks on the Way to Sustaineable Flight

    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 […]
