ABSTRACT
The global aviation industry has been massively impacted by the COVID crisis which lead to a collapse of the traffic and urged the need for a climate-neutral aviation. The sector is undergoing great mutations with the emergence of an urban air mobility based on eVTOL modules, electric and hydrogen airplanes for the short -haul transport and fuel efficient engines combined with sustainable aviation fuels for the long-haul flights. For years, Safran Data Systems's turn-key solutions for data collection, recording, transmission and processing have given aircraft manufacturers an edge on their flight test campaigns. Based on its expertise Safran Data Systems aims at assisting aircraft manufacturers in the validation and certification of tomorrow's concepts by expanding its portfolio on flight test instrumentation solutions for electric, hydrogen and emission efficient aircrafts. Proof-of-concepts are conducted to explore new innovative solutions such as HVDC electrical systems monitoring. © 2021 International Foundation for Telemetering. All rights reserved.
