Spotlight on our research
It's part of our mission at Centrale Nantes to ensure that our research benefits industry and society at large. Read on to see examples of research projects currently underway that are actively ensuring techology transfer to industry and working to bring concrete solutions for a wider societal impact.
Improving aircraft safety
SARAH - This Horizon 2020 collaborative project aims to establish new simulation-based approaches to the analysis of aircraft and helicopter ditching. Results of SARAH are expected to support the trustworthiness of aviation services.
Reducing the environmental footprint of ships
RAMSSES - Naval Group and Centrale Nantes print the world’s first hollow propeller blade by metal additive manufacturing as part of this Horizon 2020 project. RAMSSES will demonstrate that new advanced material solutions in ship design can reduce their environmental footprint.
Cost-effective aircraft repair
AMOS - Centrale Nantes is one of the partners in this ongoing Horizon 2020 project, which is developing a number of additive materials and processes for the repair of aircraft parts. This is expected to lead to significant cost and time savings in the repair and re-manufacture of aircraft parts.
Exceptional research facilities
Our research facilities include some of largest ocean test facilities in Europe and the first European offshore multi-technology grid-connected test site.
Explore our areas of research
Research at Centrale Nantes is conducted across eleven broadly defined areas of interest.
