We focus our research and development efforts on 4 technological axes: advanced manufacturing technologies, greener technologies, methods & tools for the development of complex systems and smart technologies.
Beyond our target markets, our technologies and skills are adapted to applications for mobility, environment, medical, energy & maritime.
These 4 axes work together to develop cross-cutting technologies to meet the challenges of the aeronautics, space and defense industries.
Greener technologies
The Greener Technologies axis takes up the technological challenges with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions on the basis of the ambitious objectives set by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and in line with the research programs of the major prime contractors in the aeronautics and space industries.
We contribute to the development of solutions that enable the conversion of systems historically powered by hydraulic and pneumatic energy into new solutions based on electrical energy by addressing the major challenges in this field, which are reliability and mass.
We are also preparing the technological solutions of tomorrow that will make it possible to electrify propulsion chains. Voltage build-up, reliability and densification are the key elements to achieve this.
To achieve this, we draw on all of the IRT Saint Exupery's competence centers in the fields of electricity, materials, artificial intelligence and multi-physics modeling, and we provide tools such as
- demonstrators,
- tests,
- databases,
- models,
- optimization algorithms,
- guides,
- methodologies,
- standards recommendations, etc.
Our objectives
Greener Technologies
- Improve the product life cycle.
- Enable increased electrification of systems.
- Reduce the mass and volume of products.
