  ONERA, the French aerospace research agency
ONERA (Office National d’Etudes et de Recherches Aérospatiales) is the French aerospace research agency, operating under the auspices of the Ministry of Defense.
ONERA staff take a creative approach to key areas such as radar, optics and system control, and are involved in major international scientific projects: Very Large Telescope, ultrasensitive accelerometers for space missions, new-generation launch vehicle propulsion, flying wings, pilotless planes and other futuristic concepts, and much more.
ONERA is laying the foundations for a pan-European aerospace research structure, by building on partnerships with fellow research centers, university labs, government agencies (DGA, CNES, ESA, DGAC, etc.) and industry.

 NAOS Press Visit - Meudon - May 3 2001
ONERA (French National Aerospace Research Establishment), leading a consortium with the Observatories of Paris and Grenoble, has completed and delivered to the European Southern Observatory (ESO) the first adaptive optics system designed for the Very Large Telescope (VLT) located on the top of Mount Paranal in Chile.
ONERA has dimensioned the system and designed the control system for changing the shape of the mirror which is deformed on the basis of information delivered by the wave-front analyzer to the computer which determines all the corrections to be made to the image.
Beyond these tasks, ONERA has joined forces with and pooled the astronomy and instrumentation skills of the Meudon observatory, of the Grenoble observatory, and of the ESO, because the overall system is to be used by astronomers for observation purposes.

 Research - Growth
Prominent among ONERA facilities are the large industrial wind tunnels located at the Modane-Avrieux Centre (CMA) in the French Alps, and at the Le Fauga-Mauzac Centre (CFM) near Toulouse.
Every aircraft in the Airbus family has ‘flown’ in one or more of the ONERA wind tunnels, and a significant amount of wind tunnel testing is also performed for EU-supported projects in which ONERA is a partner or a subcontractor.
ONERA has played a part in more than one hundred EU-funded co-operative projects, including: the AWIATOR project, investigating advanced aircraft design technologies; SILENCE(R), reducing aircraft noise; and the ELFIN I and ELFIN II projects, focussing on the application of drag-reducing laminar flow technologies.

 ONERA rockets
ONERA was created in May 1946 as the National Aeronautics Studies and Research Office.
ONERA research on rockets had several objectives: mastery of solid propulsion, development of subsystems (stabilization, control, telemetry,...) but also qualification of aircraft components.
Among the ONERA technological vehicles, we can mention the D-6 rocket, fired five times starting in 1963 to test the Concorde wings up to Mach 2.2 with a model fuselage measuring 2.7 m in length and 25 cm in diameter.

Average "radius" of the computational domain is 10 root chords of the wing; grid dimension is 209x57x33.
Unlike in the previous case, for which the flow is attached, there is now a stronger adverse pressure gradient, which causes boundary layer separation downstream of the shock wave on the upper surface of the wing.
Surface pressure distribution at the 90% of semi-span for the ONERA M6 wing, M=0.84, Re=11.7 million, angle of attack 5.06 degrees.

Expression ratios on log2 scale from the OneRA samples were correlated with their equivalents from the TwoRA (Figure 5a).
The FCE probesets are highlighted in red on figure 7 and it can be seen that their nlPv are least correlated between the two protocols, due to distortions in the expression ratios (scatter on figure 5c).

 ONERA M6 Wing: Study #2
Mach contours at symmetry plane for ONERA M6 wing at Mach 0.3 and zero angle-of-attack with inviscid flow.
This study is a verification study that examines the ONERA M6 wing at a lower Mach number of 0.3 and at zero angle-of-attack.
Since the airfoil shape is symmetric with respect to the chord and has no camber, then for a shock-free, inviscid flow, there should be no lift and no drag as the pressure forces acting on the wing cancel.
