With, apart from the crisis, another subject of concern major for its leader, Marc Ventre: the development of the engine of the A400M, the European military transport aircraft.
The delivery of the A400M engine control software appears to drag after June. Is the goal of a first flight of the aircraft at the end questioned
The EPI consortium responsible of the engine, our German partner MTU still provides for delivery of the software of control the Fadec, Editor's note end June or early July, at a date still compatible with a first flight of the aircraft for the end of the year. I added that to date the engine registered 2.800 hours of tests, the test flying bench stole ten times, once in part to full power.

The Fillon mission on the future of Ariane is about to make its findings. What position did you defended
We first emphasized the need to maintain the development of the version "refit" of Ariane, with engine reignitable Vinci for the top floor, in the wake of the decisions taken at the last Ministerial Conference of the European Space Agency. This will help maintain the competitiveness of Ariane. Beyond that, we believe that there is a need to develop a family of Ariane launchers, capable of 6 satellites orbit at, say, 20 tons. This would reduce the costs of the current version.
Should be called into question the model economic Arianespace, too dependent on commercial satellite launches, as some call
I do not see how this would be possible. Must be a minimum of launches per year to maintain the competitiveness of the sector. It now has 6 institutional launches per year The institutional-commercial combination seems good.
Where are the discussions for the resumption of the activity of SNPE solid propulsion
There is discussion, is that privatization of SNPE Act be passed the military planning law review has been postponed once again, Editor's note. That said, our position has not varied since ten years: we are interested in a reconciliation of the companies Snecma Propulsion solid and SNPE material energy. We cannot be at this stage that informal discussions on the industrial scheme of the project, which presents many synergies, not in terms of studies.
Have United Arab Emirates decided on the motorization of the burst Could the other prospect of the region, the Kuwait, be interested in a more powerful engine
The Emirates wanted to make a proposal on an engine of 9 tons against 7.5 tonnes for the version of the French army, "Les Echos" from February 24, that it has been. They expressed a number of other wishes, but, to my knowledge, they have not decided on the engine. If the water were to opt for a more powerful engine, we would be able to deliver within time limits compatible with their desire to receive planes in 2013. The Kuwait expressed nothing specific to this day.
