Take a closer look at the technological platforms used at the aeronautical unit of the Carnot institutes: try our guide!
The Aircar and Onera branches of the Carnot institutes provide SME and intermediate-sized companies in the aeronautical industry with a guide to how to access their technological platforms.
The new guide, "Les plateformes technologiques de la filière aéronautique des Instituts Carnot" (Technological platforms used at the aeronautical unit of the Carnot institutes) prepared by the eight Carnot institutes involved in Aircar (Cetim, Ingénierie@Lyon, M.I.N.E.S, Arts, Ifpen-Transports Energie, Mica, CEA Leti, ESP) and its pilot program, Onera, aims to allow SME and intermediate-sized companies to rapidly access the expertise and test resources of 50 renowned technological platforms in the aeronautical sector!
Four key topics
This guide lists the technological platforms according to their technical pertinence in terms of aeronautical issues, the services proposed (R&D, prototypes, characterisation, production, training services, etc.) and compatibility with the budgets of small businesses, SME and intermediate-sized companies. The guide is broken down into four topics to make it easier to find the right expertise and laboratory resources. The first topic covers materials (composites, functional textiles, surface tribology, etc.) and processes (additive manufacturing, machining processes, industrial robotics, etc.). The second topic focuses on hybrid and electrical components and systems, and lists the platforms able to cover the design and characterisation of electric motors or power storage, to give just a couple of examples. The third topic relates to embedded systems, such as radio communications systems and anti-theft protection for embedded systems. Finally, the last chapter of the guide focuses on "drones and new associated services": free flight, vibrations and aeroelasticity, and acoustic imaging.
An interactive version of the guide " Les plateformes technologiques de la filière aéronautique des Instituts Carnot" (Technological platforms used at the aeronautical unit of the Carnot institutes) is available from the following website: www.aircar-carnot.fr. A printed version can also be obtained from Aircar on request.

This concept relies on all methods and technologies which care for their impact on the environment throughout a product or process life. Though reluctances due to, among others, legal constraints and potentially reduced commercial leeway, sustainable development is certainly a real opportunity for innovation.
This technological focus includes projects relating to : Environment and industrial risk management in order to anticipate compliance to regulations, implementation of eco-design approaches and technologies reducing the environmental impact of processes and products.
