The companies design, develop, manufacture, sell and service new turnkey remote-sensing instruments allowing wind measurement and aerosol characterization. Attention : Coaches will not drive back visitors to Orleans. You will be linked to the transilian transport network (Paris suburbs) in order to reach airports or train stations from Paris. Proposed and organized by Ecole des Ponts ParisTech Did you know that Gustave Eiffel, the same Eiffel that constructed the famous tower in Paris, was a fan of aeronautics and built his very own wind tunnel first !? not only get to see this wonderful piece of engineering, but, also get a free cocktail !!, remarkable. For those of you lucky enough to get a place, the visit will start at 17.30 h. You only need to take the train departing from Orléans centre to Paris Austerlitz station at 15.28 h (see train times in portfolio below). The estimated total travel time is one hour and half, this includes 30 minutes of metro travel. Additional information can be found at : http://www.aerodynamiqueeiffel.fr/index.php?lang=EN PRISME Laboratory is an interdisciplinary lab located in the campus of the University of Orléans. You will visit the wind tunnel facilities which are used to study wind turbine aerodynamics, the combustion hall and internal combustion engine test benche and the mechanical testing hall of the team “mechanics of heterogeneous materials”.
