Abstract: The invention relates to a method for recovering organic fibers from a composite material comprising a polymer matrix and organic fibers, wherein the method comprises the following steps: providing a solution comprising a mixture of water and alcohol; placing the composite material inside a reactor; contacting the mixture and the composite material in order to perform a solvolysis reaction of the composite material; and recovering the organic fibers; wherein the pressure and the temperature in the reactor are adjusted such as to fall within the homogeneous sub-critical range of the phase diagram, within the super-critical range or near the critical point; and wherein the temperature is lower than the melting temperature of the organic fibers.

Abstract: A process to structure and manage the configuration of an industrial product, taking into account selected options includes describing a set of technical objects, each technical object either representing a product function or describing an implementation method for making a product configuration for such a product function. The technical objects represent manufacturing options of the industrial product. The process further includes updating a database to clarify a definition of each technical object and its inter-relations with other objects in the configuration. The definition includes an expression of rules and constraints. The process also includes interacting with the database during the product configuration, through a selection of options, wherein the interacting includes using a knowledge management module, a contract management module, an administration module, and a mass management module.

Abstract: A high-capacity aircraft fuselage having two lobes placed side by side and assembled together along two longitudinal lines of junction is designed to facilitate passenger movement from one lobe to the other in accordance with aviation safety regulations. The fuselage includes a top longeron (28) for reinforcing the top line of junction, a floor (23) providing a separation between an upper internal space which can serve as a cabin (24) and a lower internal space (25) which can serve as a hold, a girder (32) for supporting the cabin floor and connecting it to the bottom portion of the fuselage, rows of seats extending from one side of the bilobed body to the other, a bottom longeron (29) for reinforcement along the bottom line of intersection, and posts (31) disposed in spaced relation in the rows of seats for connecting the top longeron (28) to structural members located in the lower region of the fuselage (32, 29).

Abstract: A process for developing a statistical model to forecast the workload of an aircraft pilot (20), in particular that of a commercial airline pilot, as a function of objective flight parameters, wherein, during the course of at least one flight (real or simulated) of the aircraft, under defined flying conditions and flight conditions and stages which constitute the flight parameters, the aircraft pilot is asked to provide a rating of his workload according to a predefined scale, wherein this rating is logged at the same time as the corresponding flight parameters, and, simultaneously, the value of the significant data of the said parameters is measured, wherein, finally, a statistical correlation is established between the workload rating values on the one part and the aforesaid data and flight parameters on the other part.

Abstract: A fixed-wing aircraft with tandem lifting surfaces has monoplane main wings secured in an intermediate area of the fuselage and a horizontal tail surface with at least one stabilizer plane mounted at the tail of the fuselage. A third supporting surface on the fuselage is in tandem arrangement with the other supporting surfaces. The third supporting surface is a canard surface positioned ahead of the center of gravity of the aircraft.
