The NSERC-J.A.Bombardier-Pratt & Whitney Canada industrial research chair in design integration for more efficient
aircraft held by Jean-Yves Trépanier primarily aims at:
Increasing the aerodynamic efficiency of aerospace components by means of advanced aerodynamic optimization techniques and
high-fidelity multidisciplinary techniques
Improving the overall aircraft performance by using better integrated and higher fidelity models during the conceptual
design stage
Developing analysis techniques as well as aerodynamic/multidisciplinary design techniques allowing the search of
innovative concepts which integrate aerodynamics and propulsion for future-generation aircraft
