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

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

With growth rising from $2.2 billion in 2019 to $2.6 billion in 2025, or 3.5%, the aviation sector is positioning itself as one of the prime areas for innovation.The cockpit digitalization and transformation in the aeronautics sector offers manufacturers new prospects. Indeed, Airbus expects 22,000 helicopters by 2036 and 37,400 aircraft are expected within 20

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

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

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.

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 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

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

La Rochelle-based aircraft manufacturer Elixir Aircraft delivered its first single-engine aircraft assembled from composite materials on February 2, 2022. In partnership with Turbotech, the La Rochelle-based SME is developing a propulsion system project aimed at achieving concrete results in terms of low-carbon aviation. Elixir Aircraft, an innovative aircraft manufacturer Elixir Aircraft is a company of
