AEROSPACE – A KEY PERIOD FOR COMPANIES ROADMAP ?
28
July

After facing crisis in 2020, the world of aeronautics must continue to move forward and innovate to recover. As we can see in the following sectors, trends are emerging and forming the new challenges. Hybrid aviation, composites, avionics, and IFE constantly benefits from innovations that allows to think about new challenges and directions to take. The multitude of novelties in the aeronautical sector now make it a favorable period to boost the activity of companies.

Let us take a closer look at some of these new trends in these sectors:

  • – Hybrid aviation is obviously the hot topic as it represents a tangible solution to green aviation on a medium term, research is progressing, and some players are getting results with hydrogen and electric batteries
  • – Concerning composites, the aeronautical sector confirms its attraction for it and integrate it more and more in aircraft structure, and more particularly for the development of drones
  • – As for avionics, touch screens are gradually replacing traditional buttons and screens
  • – IFE continues to innovate for passenger comfort with the quality of the cabin air, inflight Wi-Fi, and the development of the premium economy class.
