Airbus picks up pace after the crisis.
After a sudden halt in global air transport caused by the pandemic a little over a year ago, the aviation industry is starting to recover and seems to be returning to its usual growth. Several players in the sector are announcing new projects for 2021. Airbus: Delivery and new orders in prospect The portfolio of
Composite materials: disruptive innovations to green the aeronautical and maritime sectors.
The international aviation and maritime transport sectors are the fastest growing source of CO2 emissions. Together they account for almost 7% of total EU GHG emissions. It is only recently that these two sectors have taken initiatives to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, both at the European and global levels. Lightweight, strong and durable, composites

Machine learning and deep learning: two essential components of AI applied to the industrial sector.
Artificial intelligence (AI) brings together a constellation of technologies that enable machines to understand, act and learn. Among them, machine learning and deep learning, two essential components of AI applied to the industrial sector. These two terms are often used interchangeably. Yet, they are quite distinct. Thus, it is important to identify and differentiate them
The electric propulsion of aircraft: between progress and challenges
The electrification of non-propulsion systems has been a continuous evolution of airplanes and helicopters for decades, while the electrification of propulsion systems promises a real revolution. This implies a new way of designing aircraft, their architecture, their aerodynamics, not to mention their operating model. Current research and innovation projects on the electrification of propulsion promise
