STRUCTURING OF A SPACE CLUSTER AROUND HERAKLES / SAFRAN AND AIRBUS D&S, BORDEAUX - LE HAILLAN / SAINT-MÉDARDBy bringing together their expertise within AIRBUS SAFRAN LAUNCHERS in early 2015, two large companies, Airbus D&S and Herakles / Safran, seek to maintain the outstanding level of quality and reliability of Ariane 5, while devel-oping a family of new-generation, cost-effective launchers (Ariane 6), and thus strengthening Europe’s leadership in the space industry.

CLEAN P2P PROPULSION PLATFORMThe industrial consortium of Airbus Defence & Space / Roxel / Safran Herakles is expanding its efforts in the field of eco-design, eco-man-ufacturing, eco-elimination of next generation solid propulsion boosters, (e.g. Ariane 6) and is establishing a European skills center in Aquitaine focused on propulsion and dual technology applications, for the purpose of:

Promoting the use of bio-sourced solutions to meet the needs of the P2P consortium for resins used in external thermal protection

Promoting and providing regional industry with access to resonant acoustic mixing technology

Developing a powder-ALM (additive layer manufacturing) sector in Aquitaine for the recycling of waste (metal chips) and other low-cost sources of raw materials

Developing the use of the solvolysis process in supercritical environments for the recycling of composite materials and energy production by-products.

AIR’INNOV, THALES’S FACTORY OF THE FUTUREBy 2017, Thales will have grouped the activities of Thales Airborne Systems in Pessac, at the cutting edge of embedded radar, and Thales Avionics (Le Haillan), specializing in cockpits at Air’Innov, its industrial campus in Mérignac. With more than 62,000 m² of surface area on 16 hectares, 2,300 employees and €200 M invested, Air’Innov is Thales’s reference in terms of support and services and one of the most modern industrial complexes, thanks to its technologies and collaborative working methods.

SIMMAD(MoD aeronautics organization for maintenance & repair) at Airbase 106, making the region one of Europe’s three largest decision-making centers with Manching in Germany and Bristol in the United Kingdom.

BORDEAUX AEROPARC-TECHNOWEST, THE SECTOR’S INDUSTRIAL, SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL COMPLEXIt groups SMEs, a fledgling business center and anincubator around the big names in aeronautics and space such as Thales, Dassault Aviation, Safran, and Airbus Defence & Space. It involves over 50 R&D projects that will lead to the creation of new businesses, particularly in embedded systems, composite materials and drones.

10

MESSIER-BUGATTI-DOWTY / SAFRAN, LANDING GEAR SYSTEMS AND BRAKINGMessier-Bugatti-Dowty, world leader in aircraft landing and braking systems, invests 14 % of its revenues in research and development of new products to ensure that the next generation of equipment is even more economical, lighter, more robust and quieter (new materials, electrical technologies, moni-toring service, eco-innovation).

EGTS™, the future of aircraft taxiing

Introducing EGTS™, the electric taxiing system, developed in partnership by Honeywell and Safran, can significantly improve an airline’s operational efficiency by reducing fuel (to 4 %, ie $205,000 per plane per year) and other taxi related costs, as well as providing environmental benefits by slashing the carbon (to 75 %) and other emissions created during taxi operations.

TURBOMECA / SAFRAN, A FRENCH MODEL OF THE FACTORY OF THE FUTUREAfter having invested €100 M (10 % of annual revenues) in its site in Bordes near Pau, Turbomeca, world leader in heli-copter turbines, has begun to upgrade its establishment in Tarnos (Landes) to become its global resources mana-gement center for support and corporate

services. In addition, by allocating 15 % of its revenues to research, technology, development and industrialization of new products, Turbomeca renews its product line, with the goal of reducing its environmental footprint, primarily through optimization of helicopter turbine kerosene consumption.

AIRBUS, THE FUTURE OF E-AIRCRAFT Based on experimental prototypes of all-electric aircraft, Airbus Group Innovations, in partnership with Aéro Composites Saintonge based in Saint-Sulpice-de-Royan (Charente Maritime), has built the E-Fan Demonstrator, which performed its first public flight in April 2014 at Bordeaux-Merignac Airport.Airbus sees the E-Fan as a family of air-craft and has already signed agreements with its partners for the industrialisation phase. The short-term goal is to achieve entry-into-service in late 2017 of a 2.0 two-seat pilot trainer version. This will make it the first all-electric production aircraft in the world certified to european standards by civil airworthiness authorities. A company wholly owned by Airbus Group, named Voltair SAS, will develop, build and offer service for the E-Fan production. The final assembly facilities will be located at Pau-Pyrénées Airport.
