Gliding Impact Initiative.
Gain Altitude.
Find Perspectives.
Gliders, a platform to promote meaningful causes.
Gaining altitude without emissions, to help today’s decision-makers step back, and inspire tomorrow’s engineers.
Our areas of commitment :
EDUCATION & RESEARCH
AVIATION & GLIDING
RESPONSIBLE INNOVATION
ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES
Earth and Environmental Sciences, Education, Scientific Research, Eco-design processes, and Life Cycle Assessment.
All essential tools for building responsible innovation processes for our industries and for aviation.
COMMITMENT
Gliding and science serving a more responsible future
We are a recognized non-profit organization committed to defending four fundamental causes that will shape the world of tomorrow:
-
Responsible Innovation, Eco-design
-
Teaching and Research
-
Atmospheric and Climate Sciences
-
Decarbonized Aviation and Pilot Training
Our goal: to act both in words and deeds to promote these causes and demonstrate that concrete and viable solutions exist.
ACTION LEVERS
Raising awareness and promoting change.
We firmly believe that change comes through information and education. We are committed to raising awareness among the public, decision-makers, and stakeholders in our areas of intervention about the issues related to our causes. Through conferences, public interventions, and showcasing innovative projects, we seek to promote sustainable and responsible solutions.
Take concrete action.
To support these arguments, we take action. We are convinced that responsible innovation is not just an idea, but a reality to be built every day. We lead concrete projects that aim to prove it is possible to change things. We want to be pioneers and agents of transformation in the sectors where we operate, by implementing innovative, sustainable, and pragmatic solutions.
THE PROJECTS
GLIDINGIMPACT
Developing innovative demonstrators.
Designing and manufacturing two innovative gliders — a single-seater and a two-seater — with sustainability and progress in mind.
These development projects aim to provide practical solutions to specific challenges in the gliding and aviation sectors, such as:
-
Autonomous gliders with no external logistical constraints
-
Professional and recreational pilot training
-
Decarbonization of the aviation industry
Carrying out exceptional flights.
Developing innovative technological demonstrators is one thing.
Flying them is even better.
We plan to carry out meaningful and ambitious flights: missions that will both test and fully exploit the capabilities of our gliders, push the limits of the discipline, and showcase the regions we fly over.
Essential collaboration.
To make these projects successful, we collaborate with schools, researchers, and industrial partners who are at the heart of these challenges.
They are the ones who built yesterday’s and today’s technological advances, and who will continue shaping tomorrow’s innovations.
Our objective: to collaborate both on technical developments and on flight operations for a greener and more responsible future.
WHY TAKE ACTION
Combining innovation and responsibility, technology and environmental respect.
We demonstrate that it is possible through the execution of our projects. Faced with the climate emergency and the challenges we encounter, it is essential to act quickly and effectively. We hope that our work will inspire, that it will prove that it is possible to reconcile technological progress with the preservation of our planet.
Together, let's build a more sustainable and responsible future.
