Static switch electronic cards are gradually replacing the electromechanical contactors that command electrical circuits. The teams at Montreuil are responsible for their design and monitoring.

The mockup of the cockpit of the future, connected to a flight simulator, integrates products under development, putting them in simulated situations so they can be better assessed by customers and users. Products being assessed include cockpit seats, OLED (Organic LED)-technology lighting that is more reliable and less energy-intensive, and video touch screens that facilitate pilots’ access to flight data.

Electromagnetic test chamber, used to validate the robustness of the Group's equipment and systems in disruptive electromagnetic environments.

For external lighting, Zodiac Cockpit & Lighting Systems is developing LED technologies and simulating their performance and characteristics in a dedicated laboratory.

Research on electrical power generators, a specialty of Zodiac Innovative Power Solutions, is aimed at developing more reliable, higher yield solutions that deliver better performance.

The Systems Test Center at Niort uses test benches representative of aircraft configurations to simulate all situations of an onboard electrical power system and validates the different configurations and functionalities of the electrical distribution system.
