La propulsion hybride-électrique a le potentiel de réduire la consommation en carburant des aéronefs et constitue une alternative plus réaliste par rapport à l’option tout électrique. Avec l’utilisation de sources d’énergies différentes, le processus de dimensionnement est complexifié et couplé à l’opération de l’aéronef. Cela nécessite alors une approche d’exploration par analyse de mission et […]

Magnetometers have been used for decades for exploration in mining, navigation and defence and security. However, high accuracy sensors often provide only the amplitude of magnetic fields, severely limiting the extent of magnetic interpretations. A novel type of quantum magnetometers based on Nitrogen Vacancy centers in diamond promise enhanced sensitivity and accuracy, while providing the […]

Project 1: The objective of this project is to design a Visual Systemic ‘Risk Map’ as one possible prototype to address some of the issues of risk identification and analysis in the context of global financial systems. We propose the design concept of the ‘Risk Map’ using principles of Cognitive Systems Engineering (instrumental papers in […]

Cosmic Dawn (CD) is the period in our Universe’s history when first-generation stars and galaxies were formed. Despite its importance, we have yet to directly observe this period. Next-generation radio telescopes promise to change this by utilizing a technique known as 21cm tomography. The current state-of-the-art software package for making theoretical predictions in 21cm tomography […]

Support the deployment of a custom UV camera for field operation on a drone. The UV camera is specific to our research project and was already used for crop monitoring in a fixed setup. The drone to deploy the camera is designed and manufactured by a partner organization, which will provide all the required design […]

This project concerns the full detailed airflow and thermal analysis on a 7000XR full flight simulator to assure a comfortable environment for the personnel inside the cockpit during the training session and to protect the advanced electronic systems available in the simulator. To reach this objective, we will use CFD tools that will be validated […]

Aircraft flight simulators are important to airworthiness standards and thus safety. The simulators are used in pilot training, as well assisting in the design of flight vehicles. Flight simulators need physical models that reproduce, in the computer, the real devices such as engines, pilot human response, cockpit, etc. In particular, it also needs an aerodynamic […]

It is forecast that by 2023, Canada will be facing a critical shortage of pilots. If the launch of Delphi technology’s MVP is successful, it is predicted that the project will significantly aid Canada in this critical shortage. The main challenge with this project is raising the desired amount of awareness for the brand, given […]

Ce projet vise à produire des connaissances et méthodes nouvelles en biomécanique et en ergonomie occupationnelle qui vont permettre d’augmenter les capacités du logiciel Ergonomic Workplace Designer (EWD), dont une première version sera mise en marché par Dassault systèmes au cours de l’année 2021. Ce logiciel d’ergonomie virtuelle est destiné aux concepteurs de systèmes de […]

There is a critical shortage of commercial pilots in North America, in large part because pilots who are qualified to conduct such training are in very high demand. Delphi is an innovative Calgary-based flight training school that is using novel methods to improve student outcomes, increase retention of students, and scale student training to better […]

L’objectif de cette recherche est d’étudier et améliorer les performances d’un rotor de queue d’hélicoptère novateur. Le concept à l’étude fait usage de plusieurs hélices fixées sur des moteurs électriques pour générer une poussée. Ce concept se veut intéressant pour plusieurs raisons notamment la réduction des émissions sonores, la réduction de la consommation énergétique et […]

Les appareils à rotors coaxiaux utilisent deux rotors contrarotatifs partageant le même axe de rotation. Pour ces appareils, l’interaction entre les deux rotors est importante pour leurs performances. Ainsi, ce projet porte sur la caractérisation expérimentale de l’effet de l’espacement entre les 2 rotors sur le comportement aérodynamique des drones.
