SHM for Spacecraft Structures

Spacecraft structures are subjected to the harsh thermo-mechanical environments of space as well as launch. They can be in operation for decades and offer little opportunity for servicing. In addition, modern spacecraft carry large apertures that are packaged and deployed on orbit. Such deployable structures are subjected to high strains and even when deployed, can […]

STRATOSPHERE S.A develops Adaptive Flutter Suppression technologies

During the last decade, aircraft manufacturers have strongly fostered green innovations to reimagine the future of commercial aviation. The objective is clear, to seed a culture of innovation and take the lead in this frenetic race against carbonization with zero-emission aircraft. Just like the advent of electric mobility will utterly transform great cities and the way we […]

STRATOSPHERE S.A – AI has its role on health management systems

Simply put, AI is a collection of technologies that combine data, algorithms and computing power. Advances in computing and the increasing availability of data are therefore key drivers of the current upsurge of AI. This can combine technological and industrial strengths with a high-quality digital infrastructure and a regulatory framework based on its fundamental values to be able to develop amazing technologies. On that basis, it can develop an AI ecosystem that brings the benefits of the technology to the whole of society and economy. Furthermore, the impact of AI […]

STRATOSPHERE S.A technologies aligned with major Aerospace tech trends

High-Mach projects take shape If commercial supersonic flight does return to the skies, chances are it will look something like the Overture. Prospective Concorde successor Boom Supersonic unveiled a ‘refined’ design for its supersonic airliner, designed to fly at up to Mach 1.7 over water and Mach 0.94 over land. Based on 26 million hours of […]

Optimization of SHM for Airliners

Structural health monitoring (SHM) using sensor networks makes it possible to reduce the manual inspection costs of aircraft. These costs depend both on components and on usage, and increase with aircraft age. As dedicated SHM systems increase aircraft weight and electric power demand, it is of interest to assess firstly, for which specific components monitoring might be […]

Complexity is the Rule not the Exception

Early systems thinkers were still ultimately aiming to improve their ability to better predict and control a system. The introduction of insights from chaos theory and non-linear mathematics into systems science sparked the development of complexity theory. A set of key characteristics such Interconnectedness, unpredictability, and uncontrollability are part of all complex dynamic systems.  The sciences of complexity are a […]

Systems of Systems (SoS) is the underlaying approach at Stratosphere S.A.

Systems of Systems (SoS) abound in today’s world. Many common societal capabilities, including water and energy resources, air transportation and defence all are composed of SoS. Systems engineering of Systems of Systems (SoS) has been a topic of increasing interest in defence globally for the past decade. Most military missions depend on sets of systems […]
