Paris - Le Bourget, Air and Space Museum
IFP will participate in the Green Aviation Show to be held from June 18 to 20, 2010 at the Air and Space Museum, at Paris - Le Bourget Airport
IFP will have a stand and participate in the round table on Saturday 19 June at 10:30 am: "The energy and environmental challenge: biofuels and new engines"
The considerable development of air transport increased traffic by 100 between 1950 and 2000. This performance was obtained thanks to the entry into service in 1952 of a remarkable means of transport, the subsonic jet transport aircraft; half a century later, the concept of the product remains unchanged, even if technology has improved its efficiency. If nothing were to hinder it, the progression should continue at a sustained pace during the XNUMXst century; however, air transport is today facing a change in its operating conditions due to the consideration of the environment and the gradual decline in oil production.
This round table, chaired by Georges Ville (Air and Space Academy) and which brings together Philippe Novelli (ONERA / DEFA) and Xavier Montagne (IFP), will try to review the solutions proposed in terms of biofuels and new engines to allow air transport to continue its development while respecting these new constraints.
