Aerospace industry requirements
Today’s aerospace systems are increasingly complex. They demand new technologies, tools and methods to meet multiple concerns:
- Overall system optimization by integrating all 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.
- Proven system dependability, an imperative.
Onera ISA meets the requirements of both industry customers and partners, through:
- Interdisciplinary studies.
- The ability to integrate technologies early in the development process.
- Validation of theoretical models through experimentation.
- Quick responsiveness to limit development costs.
- Transfer of methods and tools to design offices at manufacturers.
