Airbus France

Participant : Yves Papegay.

To improve the production of numerical (flight) simulators from models of aerodynamics, Airbus France is interested in methods and tools like those described in 6.3.2 .

Following the contracts signed in 2003, 2005 and 2007 with the aircraft maker, and a consulting contract in 2008 to study the possible development of an industrial tool, we have initiated in 2009 a 2-years collaboration to enhanced the functionnalities and performances of the existing pieces of software belonging to Airbus and to turn them into a prototype that integrate and showcase our results.

Following a first transfer agreement signed in 2010, another contract licensing to Airbus a final and complete version of this prototype has been signed in 2011.
