Spain and the United Kingdom, the cornerstones of LNG in the EU
The embargo on Russian gas has disrupted gas supplies to European countries. As a result, to find alternatives to meet gas needs, Europe is turning to the development of LNG infrastructure. This is particularly the case for the UK and Spain, which could be elevated to the top rank of gas suppliers in Europe. Spain,
New innovations and materials: where are we with sustainable commercial aviation?
The aeronautics industry is notoriously polluting and has to deal with environmental issues while reducing costs as much as possible. The impact of the pandemic has accelerated the ecological transition in commercial aviation and the industry is in recovery phase and continues to develop innovative projects in materials and propulsion systems. How can we move
The ZEBRA project has produced the first prototype of its recyclable composite wind turbine blade
The Jules Verne Institute of Technological Research (IRT) launched the ZEBRA (Zero wastE Blade ReseArch) project in September 2020, for a duration of 42 months and a budget of 18.5 million euros. The project coordinates a consortium of industrial companies to demonstrate on a large scale the technical, economic and environmental relevance of thermoplastic wind
Is the LNG, the gas of the future in Europe ?
While the war between Russia and Ukraine is hitting Europe hard, the European Union has put in place an embargo on Russian gas. If Russia provides 40% of its natural gas to the EU, the problem that the EU is now facing is that of alternatives to Russian gas, natural gas. Therefore, many countries are
Europe’s railways, a sector undergoing a complete overhaul
If Europe is committed to a series of measures that generalize the use of hydrogen, the railway network is also opening its hydrogen sector. Today, several players (large groups, small businesses, or start-ups) are launching numerous innovative projects in this sector. Hydrogen giant Alstom, Engie’s new partner On April 6th, Alstom and Engie signed a
The evolution of additive manufacturing in the aerospace industry
The aerospace and defence industries are obvious examples of the use of additive manufacturing (more commonly known as 3D printing) to create stronger and lighter parts than traditionally manufactured parts. Over the last few decades, the adoption of 3D printing has increased significantly. In 2015, the aerospace and defence industries contributed about 16% of the
SURFEO INSIDE : The launch of Mission at SURFEO
In the industry, the number of players and potential targets is very large. The real difficulty lies in your ability to understand and target your market. This is why it is common to rely on structures or professionals with experience and contacts. But how can you be sure that your representative will really be able
Blockchain, a revolutionnary technology in aeronautics
Today, most of the information critical to keeping an aircraft flying is collected manually, a time-consuming and expensive process. Data indicating the history and status of an aircraft is spread across up to 40 systems, in the hands of multiple parties who may be competitors reluctant to share data. While blockchain is revolutionizing usage and
MCO: Verticalization of contracts begins to show results
The French Minister of the Army, Florence Parly, and the Directorate of Aeronautical Maintenance (DMAé) have initiated the in-depth transformation of the maintenance of operational condition (MCO) for aircraft, which has resulted in the notification of more than fifteen verticalization contracts in three years. New verticalization contracts were notified on 29 December. A new MCO
