Current aerospace industry requirements :

Today’s aerospace systems are increasingly complex. Their design and development require new technologies, tools and methods due to a number of factors:

• the need for a comprehensive optimization of systems, integrating many constraints;
• the wide variety of physical phenomena involved, which demands the integration of major scientific disciplines and coupling of computation codes;
• the need to understand multiple scales,both spatial and temporal;
• the need to prove system dependability.

ONERA ISA Carnot institute provides clients in industry and partners with solutions :

• Interdisciplinary studies;
• The ability to integrate technologies early in the development process;
• Validation of theoretical models through experimentation;
• Possible quick and limited answers to reduce development costs
• Transfer of methods and tools to design offices.
