�� What will happen with YPSat during the Ariane 6 launch ? Throughout its approximately 3-hour-long operating life, YPSat remains attached to the upper stage of the launcher and operates fully autonomously up until upper stage re-entry. YPSat’s primary objective is to acquire imagery of the fairing separation, the CubeSat deployment, and in-orbit views of Earth and space, keeping parts of the Ariane 6 upper stage in the foreground 📸✨ • Through the Wake-Up Subsystem (WUS) YPSat will be able to detect the Ariane 6 lift-off independent of the launcher signal and initiate the startup sequence to power-up the spacecraft during launch. This will enable YPSat to already be operational minutes after lift-off. • It will commence to fully autonomously record key events of the Ariane 6 maiden launch, beginning with the separation of the rocket fairing. • Once in low-Earth orbit, YPSat will document the separation of the hosted payloads, with a particular focus on two CubeSats supported by ESA Education initiatives. • During its awaiting phase to enter the communication window, which occurs during its flyby over Europe, YPSat takes advantage of this time to capture captivating in-orbit imagery of Earth. • During its passes over Europe, YPSat will image different landmarks before it establishes communication links with multiple ground station antennas to downlink the stored image and video files. • Upon the successful completion of the data downlink process, YPSat passivates as the Ariane 6 upper stage a controlled atmospheric re-entry manoeuvre ending mission. Stay tuned ! 🚀🙌 #ypsat #esa #Ariane6

Aerospace Industry and Innovation Day ✈️ International Civil Aviation Organization's European and North Atlantic office brought together 35 of its Directors General of Civil Aviation in Toulouse this week, and ATR proudly represented the vibrant spirit of regional aviation. Hosted by Airbus and GIFAS - Groupement des Industries Françaises Aéronautiques et Spatiales, the Aerospace Industry and Innovation Day aimed to foster knowledge sharing and discussions on the latest advancements in the industry, with a special focus on decarbonisation. Our CEO, Nathalie Tarnaud Laude, conveyed ATR's pioneering vision, emphasizing our commitment to #innovation, industry transformation, and reimagining the way we travel. Our goal is clear: to ensure a promising future for generations to come. ✔️ ATRs are not concepts but a proven reality! The ATR -600 series, with an impressive track record of 36 million flight hours, stands as the regional aircraft with the lowest emissions on the market today, emitting a remarkable 45% less CO2 than regional jets of similar size. It has become the preferred choice for airlines, communities, and economies seeking responsible connectivity. ✔️ Imagine the impact: Replacing all regional jets currently operating in Europe on routes below 500NM with ATRs would result in a colossal 33% reduction in CO2 emissions. ✔️ As we strive to be 100% SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) ready by next year, we are also actively exploring a more disruptive aircraft concept—the ATR EVO. This medium-term solution aims to significantly reduce emissions in regional aviation without compromising on accessibility and versatility, which are indispensable to the communities relying on our aircraft. Join us on our innovation journey and discover how ATR is shaping the future of low-emission aviation 👉 https://lnkd.in/eqEd_JGZ

Innovations in #Aircraft manufacturing ✈️: An international consortium led by Airbus is at the forefront of revolutionizing production technologies for the thermoplastic fuselage of tomorrow. As part of the EU's Clean Sky 2 initiative, the “Multifunctional Fuselage Demonstrator” (MFFD) project showcases groundbreaking work by the Fraunhofer IWS team under Dr. Maurice Langer. They have successfully used a CO2 #Laser beam ⚡️ source to weld long joining seams on large thermoplastic aircraft fiber composite structures outside of an autoclave for the first time globally. This milestone represents a significant step towards new ecological aircraft construction concepts.   Their automated CONTIjoin process joins the upper and lower halves of the world's largest CFRTP aircraft fuselage segment. This innovation not only reduces labor – eliminating the need for drilling and riveting – but also achieves massive reductions in weight, material, and time. These advancements promise faster, more eco-friendly, and competitive production of future commercial aircraft 📈.   Another key technology component is the “ESL2-100 module,” also developed in-house at Fraunhofer IWS. Peter Rauscher highlights, “This enables us to process a wide variety of sensor signals and implement corresponding control algorithms derived from them.”   👉🏼 Explore the latest aviation news by clicking here: https://lnkd.in/eASyG_fF   Kudos to all project partners 💐! This remarkable project is paving the way for more sustainable aircraft in the future.

Parker Meggitt sensors on the Ariane 6 flight! The inaugural launch of Ariane 6 took place yesterday evening from Kourou in French Guiana, successfully placing satellites into orbit. Parker Meggitt is a key partner with our sensors operating at extreme temperatures, down to -269°C and up to +780°C, our electronic conditioners enabling us to measure the rotational speeds of turbopumps on Vulcain and Vinci engines at up to 150'000 rpm, as well as numerous harnesses and other equipment. Ariane 6 is vital for Europe's strategic independence. Since the retirement of Ariane 5 in July 2023, Europe had no access to space. Switzerland as a member of the European Space Agency, receives industry contracts equivalent to its contribution. Satellites play an important role in economic (telecommunications, positioning, weather forecasting), military (intelligence) and scientific (astronomical observation, microgravity, earth observation, oceanography, altimetry) purposes. With more than 30 launches already reserved, Ariane 6 has a promising future ahead!

5 years later, Sonaca closes the curtain on HLFC Win. If you had to remember few things from this project? ✔ One JEC Composites Innovation award in 2023 ✔ Numerous technologies to be used for next developments : Krueger flap, induction de-icing system,... ✔ And our partners congratulations for the great work This project was achieved with the partnership of German Aerospace Center (DLR) Aernnova Aerospace ONERA - The French Aerospace Lab and Airbus as coordinator. Cleansky2 initiative aims to develop new technologies for a clean, innovative and competitive aviation system. As a reminder, HLFC (Hybrid Laminar Flow Control) technology is designed to maintain the smoothest possible flow along the wing. It offers the potential for significant reductions in specific fuel consumption. The teams developed a ground demonstrator to check the feasibility and integration of all associated HLFC systems.    #aerospace #innovation #engineering #industry

->First flights by aircraft type : -l’A300 en oct 1972 -A310 en avril 1982 -A320 en fév 1987 -A321 en mars 1993 -A319 en août 1995 -A318 en juil 2003 -A330 en nov 1992 -A340 en oct 1991 -A350 en juin 2013 -A380 en avril 2005 Airbus nomenclature ✈️ To understand the Airbus nomenclature, we need to go back to the 1970s. At the time, to meet the growing need for mobility, Airbus set about creating a wide-body aircraft capable of carrying 300 passengers. Thus was born the "A300", A for Airbus and 300 for the number of passengers that could board. In 1967, the "A300" label was awarded to an airliner that Airbus Industrie planned to manufacture, with 320 seats and two engines. The A380 is the exception that proves the rule! The aircraft nicknamed "the liner of the skies" takes its name from its unusual shape. According to legend, the number 8 was chosen to represent the plane's double deck as seen from the front. The number 8 is also a lucky number in many Asian countries, whose market is the main target. Vidéo crédit : Airbus
