SAFRAN LANDING SYSTEMS TAKES ACTION FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Our technological innovations
Thanks to our ongoing investment in R&T, we are able to offer our customers significantly differentiated products incorporating cutting-edge technologies.
New materials
To optimize the design of our products, we are working on new materials and processes: high-strength, low-cost composites, corrosion-resistant metallic materials, low-impact coatings that comply with REACh legislation, and new friction materials and their associated anti-oxidation protection systems.
Additive manufacturing processes
Coupled with the use of new materials, additive manufacturing enables us to optimize our manufacturing processes and ultimately reduce the weight of systems and equipment.
Electrification
We are working on new compact architectures including electric actuation (extension, retraction, steering and braking) and the electric taxiing system for the next generation of short- and medium-range aircraft, which will enable planes to move around on the tarmac without using their engines, or resorting to tractors.
The result: lower fuel consumption and significantly reduced emissions of CO², nitrogen oxides (NOx) and noise.
Digitalization
Major investments in digital technology, from the manufacturing process (automation and robotization, virtual and augmented reality) to the optimization of our services and products (braking algorithms, health monitoring, predictive maintenance), enable real-time monitoring, traceability and better knowledge of equipment condition.
WE ACT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE LIFE CYCLE OF OUR PRODUCTS
Thanks to the Low-Carbon Plan, Safran Landing Systems is committed to reducing the carbon footprint of its activities and industrial operations throughout the entire life cycle of its products.
REDUCING CO² EMISSIONS FROM OUR ACTIVITIES
We innovate to make our products ever lighter, more aerodynamic, more economical and less damaging to the environment. Objective: -50% CO² emissions by 2030.
SUPPLIER ALIGNMENT
Safran's TOP400 suppliers are committed to our decarbonization strategy, in line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
OPTIMIZING OUR LOGISTICS FLOWS
We optimize our supply chain and favor maritime transport of our parts.
