HAUTE ECOLE CONDORCET

The Provincial High School Condorcet offers about fifty courses (bachelor's and masters).

Condorcet High School train graduates in Aerotechnics.

Applied research and community services are important activities in the high school. These businesses, in close contact with professional circles, contribute to the scientific quality of the teaching provided and the influence of the high school in society.

JOHN COCKERILL INDUSTRY

Hydrogen

In this pioneering industry, we have already manufactured electrolysers and storage solutions for nearly 1,000 customers in different industries. Today, John Cockerill Hydrogen offers the most powerful electrolysers on the market, capable of producing up to 1000Nm³ per hour (equivalent to 5 megawatts (MW).

Energy

Our teams develop specific solutions to encourage access to green energy, reduce CO2 and NOx emissions, recover energy, transform waste, and help you produce more sustainably.

AERODROME DE NAMUR

The Aerodrome of Namur, with the contribution of its new owners, undergoes important modifications.

The grass track has been replaced by an asphalt track. New gas pumps have arrived and real estate is growing.

Aerodrome also wants to develop corporate incentives and rehabilitate its main building by the end of 2020.

SW_PAU

Lebrun is a Walloon company developing a product for 8 years to cool or heat the aircraft when located on the ground.

In its European version, this niche product is technically and functionally superior to competitors (mainly U.S. based). It has been selected by the largest airlines in Europe.

The market for this product is in full growth, especially for environmental reasons: this product will more and more become a substitute to classical APU’s (Auxiliary Power Unit’s) that are noisy and big kerosene-burners (300 l per hour) in airports.

SW_ICS

This project will identify and develop cooling architectures and technologies to meet the needs of future engines. Efforts will be divided into three main areas, each corresponding to a major evolution of needs and constraints:

SW_E-COM

The main objectives of the E-COM project are:

  • to investigate different composite materials taking into account specific engine environments,
  • to be able to select the best compromise for a specific part integrated in the architecture of tomorrow’s engines.

The selection of a material for its application to an engine component requires tests that are sufficiently representative of the forces undergone by the parts within the engine. This is a prerequisite to ensure the integration of technology in engine development.

SW_EASIPM

The urge of the aviation industry for a quick conversion to composite material requires innovative solutions.

In this context, the EASIPM project aims to accelerate the development of the manufacturing process of the composite and provide better control of its production, by direct measurement of parameters observed locally within the material during its production: local temperature, local pressure, and local constraints.

SW_MICROLUB

The MicroLub project aims to develop an innovative technique for micro-lubrication of cutting tools for various manufacturing machines.

The following benefits are expected:

SW_S@T

Research and developments proposed in this project « S@T » address important trends in the Aeronautic and Space sectors : 

SW_VIRTUALCOMP

VIRTUALCOMP project is in line with the APC project (Skywin) with a particular emphasis on the establishment of a stand alone numerical simulation platform used in all composite applications for aeronautic sector. 
 
In particular, the software platform developed will be applicable to the modeling and design of advanced composite structures obtained by foldes spreading techniques on complex geometries but also the latest technology for automated fiber placement developed for the aerospace industry.
