In a context of significant growth of air traffic, aircraft manufacturers face new economic and environmental challenges of commercial aircraft.  LAWITECS project, bringing together manufacturers such as SONACA, IONICS, MICROMEGA DYNAMICS and LASEA, proposes to develop Natural Laminar Flow technology applied to the wing leading edges in order to reduce fuel consumption of a medium-haul type A320 aircraft between 5 and 12% by 2025.

The aim of the Smart Integrated Guided Rocket Development (SIGURD) project is to bring together FN Herstal (FNH), Thales Belgium (TBE), G

The aerodynamic market is a highly competitive market where the environmental constraints take an increasing place.  Mastering the part tolerancing will contribute to strengthening the Walloon industry by proposing more environmentally friendly products (with a lower consumption) without jeopardizing the currently high level of reliability and economic performance.

Dans le secteur aéronautique en particulier mais aussi dans tous les autres secteurs, les matériaux composites se généralisent. Le comportement de ces matériaux à l’impact est particulièrement complexe et mal maîtrisé.
