Demand from Asia, which never saw the Concorde in commercial service, is one source of the developing demand for supersonic travel over both land and sea, although North America appears still to be the biggest potential market.

Electrified aircraft can help us achieve Clean Sky targets, which aims for a 50% cut in CO2 emissions and an 80% cut in NOx emissions by 2020. Thales expertise is accelerating the transition through stepped up R&D to develop solutions able to power the various electrical networks of an aircraft. Here's how.

“It’s beginning to happen now, with cities, aircraft manufacturers and even Uber announcing air taxis over the next few years,” explains André Cléroux, Avionic Functions Product Line Director at Thales.

The European satellite-maker will be highlighting its wide range of activities at this event. The focus will be on constellations, such as Iridium® NEXT for telecommunications, BlackSky for Earth Observation, the new Spacebus NEO telecom product line, and space exploration with the fabulous ExoMars program in the spotlight.

13th July 2018 - UK. Thales Alenia Space introduces a breathtaking journey into space with an immersive Space Digital Experience at Farnborough International Airshow 2018 from 16 to 22 July on the Thales Alenia Space stand in the Space Zone and in the Thales Chalet.

Satellites are one of the most vital components in better understanding our planet. And it’s no accident that the latest edition of the book Climate Change & Satellites, published by Sud[s] Concepts for Thales Alenia Space, is entitled “Acting Together”.

Thales is working with Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs), the organizations that manage traffic for a region or country, to develop solutions for safely enabling drones to operate alongside traditional manned aircraft. Thales’s Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management (UTM) can safely and efficiently support the rapid growth of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in the airspace.

Mike Oliver and Joel Grundy of Thales explain how Soarizon could be one of the answers to today's challenges in the emerging drone market and so help unlock the door to better, more efficient and safer use of UAS. Thales' software-based digital operations center for qualified and trusted drone operations can build confidence for safe and acceptable UAS flight among operators and all other actors.

We already have the technology to move into the new Age of Digital Transformation. So what’s holding us back?

Increasing air traffic, reduced separation between planes, heavier workloads. Future pilots will have less time to react and the risks are greater. The solution is AI.
