Today, the world is facing global warming caused by the accumulation of GHGs in the atmosphere. While several countries have declared a state of climate emergency, they have set themselves the goal of carbon neutrality. Regulated by the States, this objective is subject to new restructuring in the energy market and industries. The objectives of

Airbus restructures its cybersecurity business
In a context where digital transformation is taking place in the defence sector, accelerated by a tense geopolitical situation, the aerospace and defence group Airbus is also accelerating in the field of cybersecurity. The company will reorganise its cybersecurity services activities into a single organization from 1 July. Following the dynamism of the cybersecurity and
Cybersecurity: industrial organisation and innovation in the digital transformation of the defence sector
Since 2017 and within the framework of the 2019-2025 Military Programming Law, Florence Parly has initiated a vast transformation of the Ministry of the Armed Forces which includes a modernisation project with the digital transformation of the Ministry of the Armed Forces. One of the main objectives is to prepare the future of the armed
Digital twins, a technical innovation
Digital Twins are a virtual model designed to accurately reflect a physical object equipped with sensors. These sensors generate data on various aspects of the physical object’s performance (such as energy production, temperature, etc.), which are then relayed to a processing system and applied to the digital copy. It is estimated that 100 to 200
The latest develpments in the in-flight entertainment (IFE) experience
With the post-Covid momentum in the aviation industry, airlines are renewing their fleets and equipment such as passenger cabins. Improving the in-flight entertainment (IFE) experience must also keep pace with technological developments and passenger expectations. Initially deployed on long-haul flights, IFE technologies are now being introduced on medium-haul and VIP aircraft. More comfort and technological
The major refurbishment program: what to expect by 2022
Initiated in 2014 by EDF, the major refurbishment program is a major industrial program that relies on all the players involved in extending the life of nuclear facilities. It aims to the renovation and modernization of existing nuclear facilities. Current status of the work Currently, thanks to the participation of industrial partners, the major refurbishment
The latest innovations for a comfortable and sustainable cabin
Reducing the carbon footprint, optimising costs and passenger comfort are all issues that need to be addressed simultaneously to move towards sustainable commercial aviation. With the latest cabin innovations, such as those presented by various companies at the Crystal Cabin Awards in 2022 (the world’s largest event recognising excellence in aircraft cabin design), various costs
Aeronautics launches electric motor projects
The end of the health crisis has encouraged the resumption of activities in the aviation sector. Aircraft account for only 3.77% of the European Parliament’s GHG emissions and their use is expected to double by 2050. Thus, to reach the ecological objective of zero carbon by 2050, it would be necessary to create alternatives to
Robotics in aircraft industry
The robotics of the industry is a great step forward. In aeronautics, robotics processes are indispensable in production. Because safety is essential in the industry, aircraft manufacturers are focused on achieving maximum precision. However, cost is an obstacle in determining priorities in the value chain. The importance of robotics in aeronautics For a very long
New investments in the hydrogen aviation sector
While medium and long-term hydrogen projects are planned in commercial aviation at Airbus, other companies continue their investments in the transition to new hydrogen propulsion and power systems. Investments from Safran and HydrogenOne in Cranfield Aerospace Solutions UK SME Cranfield Aerospace Solutions (CAeS) has received a €12 million investment from Safran and investment company HydrogenOne.
