Editorial: The Need for Collective Reflection

Air and SpaceAcademyNewsletter

no.61February 2009

International version

The financial and economic crisiswe are currently going throughillustrates a glaring weakness inmodern societies: the acceleratingnature of exchanges reduces, andeven wipes out altogether, the timeneeded for making decisions.

This is precisely where learnedsocieties, comprising experiencedprofessionals, often recently freedfrom the constraints inherent totheir professional responsibilities,can make a precious contributionthrough their capacity forimpartial, detached reflection ontechnological or economicevolutions and the impact of suchand such an innovation on society.

The Air and Space Academy, havingembraced a European perspectivein 2007, can contribute to mediumand long-term reflections in theareas of air transport, defence,aerospace research and space

applications, including their legal,cultural and historic aspects.

Europe must acquire a greatercapacity for collective reflection onfuture air and space activities. Vitalissues linked to sustainabledevelopment, the role Europeshould be playing on theinternational scene to limit theconsequences of climate change, thesearch for substitutes for nonrenewable energies, long-termprospects for the different transportsystems, the role of humans in thecontrol loop of criticalinfrastructures, security, safety andrisk taking, are only a few of thesubjects requiring serene, in-depthreflection.

Attempts at independent reflectionin Europe are hampered by theinterests of individual states andeconomic stakeholders. The Air andSpace Academy, fresh from its 25th

anniversary celebrations, intends totake advantage of the more activerole played by its Europeanmembers and thus contribute in asignificant way to fostering thiscapacity for collective, independentreflection, based on a clear,comprehensive grasp of the sectorsinvolved.

What made so many people flock tosee those first “magnificent men intheir flying machines”, those modern-day heroes who, at the risk of theirlives, sought constantly to fly higher,faster, farther? To fly! Not simply totake to the airs like Pilâtre de Roziersor Nadar, drifting at the mercy of thewinds and the elements, but to fly atwill, emulating birds in tasting the joysof the third dimension. This is whatmust have been behind the infatuationthat characterised the first decades ofaviation (light by definition). The onlyevents nowadays with a flavour ofthose first air festivals a century agowould be meetings such as the Parisair show and even so, today's airshows do not attract the kind of perso-nalities who could be seen at Rheimsor Brescia. At the latter, Kafka,Wittgenstein and even d’Annunzio

mingled with the crowd! In a veryshort time, aircraft had succeeded inbecoming an object of high culturalvalue, an extraordinary fascinationwhich has been passed down to us allin our different ways, but perhapsparticularly those who, on their (still)light aircraft, continue to make airshows a moment of passion and plea-sure.

And man (woman) dreamt offlying The 20th century could never havebeen the century of air and spaceconquest if mankindhad not for so longpinned its wildestdreams high above theEarth. Jules Michelet,in his study on birds,takes up his pen onbehalf of all beingscolonising our planet:"Wings! We wantwings, the power to riseupward, and movement!" Was hemistaken in attributing to all livingbeings a prayer that was limited tohumans? Not so fast, would retortanyone fascinated by the extraordi-nary odyssey of the emergence fromthe water of our remote ancestors, thefirst, awkward steps on dry land and,one day, mystery of mysteries, thefirst beating of wings, the first glidingflight. We will never know which of allanimals was first to brave the sky.Mankind long dreamt of rising off the

ground, of leaving for other climes orsimply of gaining height. The myth ofIcarus, and the varying lessons andmoral that can be gleaned from it,illustrates the ambition which motiva-ted and still motivates the desire to fly,to climb aboard an aircraft: to takeflight. In the end what difference isthere between fleeing the labyrinthbuilt by Daedalus for King Minos andfleeing the weight of daily life by goingoff on a package holiday? Which of ushas never dreamed of "packing theirbags", escaping through the skylight,running away to join up as an air

hostess? Before Icarus, weshould mention Lucyor at least our Africanancestors who – sothe paleoanthropolo-gists say – soughtobstinately to raisethemselves to stan-ding position so as tosee further than the

end of their muzzle, to increase theirline of vision, widen their horizon.Later on they would mount horses inorder to gain a rider's viewpoint,before flying lighter-than-air craft todiscover new sensations, newpowers. The astonishing Guy deMaupassant dedicated many admira-ble pages to this experience. Beforethe rocket, the plane gave humanbeings in search of height a way tomake their dream come true… andwarriors a means to launch themsel-

It was only yesterday, and yet it was a century ago.1909, the year of the first air shows, in Rheims inAugust, then in Brescia in September. The enthusiasmthey generated seems unbelievable to us today, wehave become so used to our super-effectivecommunication networks and super-rapid transportsystems.

ves in a new race for supremacy:hardly surprising then if many FirstWorld War pilots were horse-riders ina former life. Alongside taking flight and achievinggreater height was of course the questfor achievement and pleasure. In his"Poetics of Space", Gaston Bachelardexpresses this idea verywell: "Immensity iswithin us. It is a sort ofexpansion of being thatlife curbs and cautionarrests, but which takesover in moments of soli-tude." Immensity andsolitude: which aviator,from the greatest to themost modest, from thewisest to the most fool-hardy, has not had thisdual experience, when flying over theclouds? And pleasure, which theyoung Icarus could not resist, hookedup to his crude, yet effective wings:we men and women of the air willindeed have lost everything the daythat we no longer feel the extraordi-nary pleasure, the peculiar joy offlying!

Aerobatics: the pinnacle ofaviation skill Luckily, Icarus's terrible end, due

partly to pleasure and partly to lack ofcaution, did not banish dreams offlying. Menippus, his immediatesuccessor, as imaginary as himself,fitted himself with an eagle and avulture wing and, disregarding thewax, flew as high as the Moon. A greataccomplishment, although with no

more apparent pleasurethan Neil Armstrong!Luckily too, just beforeWorld War I, AdolphePégoud, suspendedfrom his parachute, sawhis abandoned BlériotXI launch itself into analmost perfect loop:aerobatics was born,pleasure was back.In the hands of fighterpilots, though, flying

stunts were rapidly put into service onbehalf of war effort. It became possi-ble to trick one’s opponent, dive onthem unnoticed, escape by going intoa spin; the risk remained however,because the frail contraptions theywere flying were no match for thedaring of the pilots. Like the BlackSquad of Saumur, aerobatics after thewar became a sport: once again backin civilian life, many pilots had toengage in flying circuses in order tocarry on flying. Aerobatic feats and

At the origins of this story, anunlikely meeting at an airshow atMegève betweenJacques Arnould,theologian andethics specialist atCNES SpaceAgency, andCatherineMaunoury, twiceworld aerobaticschampion. Sometime later,Catherine initiated her new friendin a flight over the Beauce, withChartres cathedral never far fromher wingtip.In the cockpit of the small plane,the conversations between thechampion and her novicepassenger gave birth to this jointstory. since the flight took place ina wide blue sky conducive toconfidences, many memoriesemerged which were not limitedto the world of air sports: a Rafaleflight with one of DassaultAviation's test pilots, work onboard Air France long-haul flights,where Catherine worked for manyyears as chief flight attendantwhile maintaining her status as ahigh-level sportsperson,experiments in weightlessness ina specially equipped Zero-GAirbus A300... Catherine isinterested in everything that flies. Jacques listened, questioned,encouraged. Certain, often philosophicalconsiderations resulting fromthese exchanges guide our ownthinking on this fascinating thirddimension that man has finallymanaged to master and move inwith a strange happiness.

meetings became their daily bread.However, Icarus was waiting in thewings, as were the gods and goddes-ses of aerobatics: as well as enchan-ting crowds and training military pilots,this new sport encouraged manufac-turers to design new aircraft and,before the Second World War, wonthe right to academic palms, thestatus of a "grande école". Manythanks to the Etampespatrol for carrying pilo-ting skill – and theFrench flag – to suchheights!The post-war periodwas hardly propitious toaerobatics: light, morereliable, longer-rangeaircraft were requiredfor "useful" transpor-ting; flying became lessa matter of handling a plane than anaffair of navigation, radionavigation,regulations. Everything that an aero-batics pilot learns to… put up with!Saint-Yan, once the finest of aviators,had to convert to this new style ofaviation.But Icarus was still looking on andAugust Mudry was his prophet; hisCap 10, 231 and 232 aircraft, alongwith the Yaks and Sukhois, resumedconquest of the sky, to the everlastingdelight of aerobatics pilots… and theirfans!

The sky of menFew of their contemporaries wereunaware of or unmoved by the adven-ture of the air shows, the aerobaticsfeats of the pilots, the exp-loits ofBlériot, Santos-Dumont, Guynemer,Bolland, Lindbergh and Mermoz. Thesky was never reserved for an elite, atleast this elite did not balk at sharingtheir adventures with those stuck on

the ground. The firstexploits, successful oraborted, gave rise toan extraordinary fasci-nation on the part ofpainters, writers,sculptors and evenphilosophers, whowere interested andenthusiastic enough topromote their feats.This passion for wings

provided a limitless source for theimagination. Aside from the obviousnames, such as Saint-Exupéry, JulesRoy, Richard Bach, we mustn't forgetMalevich, Delaunay and Le Corbusier,nor even that astonishing "precursor"Nietzsche, when he wrote, inDaybreak: "We aeronauts of thespirit!- All those brave birds which flyout into the distance, into the farthestdistance-it is certain! somewhere orother they will be unable to go on andwill perch down on a mast or a barecliff-face-and they will even be thank-

ful for this miserable accommodation!But who could venture to infer fromthat, that there was not an immenseopen space before them, that theyhad flown as far as one could fly! Allour great teachers and predecessorshave at last come to a stop and thegesture of fatigue which prevents fromadvancing is neither the noblest northe more graceful: it will be the samewith you and me! Other birds will flyfarther! "In the past, we looked to augurs toread our fortunes in the flight of birds;for the past century, the course of theworld has taken the sky as its destina-tion, leaving men to write their fatesfor themselves. Aerobatics pilots haveinherited the art of curves, of swelledor hairline strokes, and the art of free-dom that only gratuitousness canprocure. Never ask an aerobatics pilotwhy they practice their art, or whatthey are trying to tell us with theirmanoeuvres. Just watch and admire.

40th anniversary of themaiden flight of ConcordeOn 2 March 1969 the prototype of theFranco-British Concorde took off fromthe runway at Toulouse-Blagnac for amaiden flight of 29 minutes. AndreTurcat, later the founder andPresident of the Air and SpaceAcademy, was at the controls in thecompany of Jacques Guignard,Michel Rétif and Henri Perrier.Another member of the Academy,Jean Pinet, had the privilege, on 1October of that year, of being the firstto break the sound barrier. The fortieth anniversary of thathistoric maiden flight will becelebrated in Toulouse with thefollowing events: • 5 February to 4 April at Odyssud

Blagnac (www.odyssud.com): anexhibition entitled "Concorde, theaudacious - an adventure, amyth, a perspective" designed byScience Animation (opening recep-tion February 26). The exhibitionwill then tour different cities of Midi-Pyrenees;

• Sunday, March 1st, the Concorde-Charlie Fox will be on display onthe tarmac at Blagnac 1 (and visiblefrom the terraces), during a memo-rial day organised by Cap AvenirConcorde (caconcorde.free.fr) andAérothèque in the airport businesscentre in which round tables and

mini forums will bring together thecreators and pilots of this legendaryaircraft.

JIEE08The third National day of economicintelligence, organised around thetheme "Competitive enterprise" by theAcademy for Economic Intelligence,was held at Toulouse 1 University,Social Sciences faculty, on 11December 2008. This study day,placed under the patronage and withthe participation of Alain Juillert, theFrench government's highresponsible for economic intelligence,was supported by the Air and SpaceAcademy and involved theparticipation of its then PresidentGeorges Ville. It brought together ahundred or so leaders and experts topresent and analyse the results ofexperiments involving practicalimplementation of economicintelligence in businesses in order toincrease competitiveness.

Forum "Vision: a view of thespirit"The forum held on 21 October 2008at the DGAC French Civil aviationauthority’s headquarters attracted anaudience of over 120 peopleincluding many doctors, who tookstock of latest developments in theinterface between the eye and the

brain, particularly concerning colourvision. Details were given on visionhygiene of and the latest progress interms of improving eyesight, glasses,contact lenses and surgery in someoutstanding lectures. Pilots andexaminers also learned more aboutthe evolution of medical regulationssince implementation of the latestEuropean rules.

DistinctionsFellow member Bertrand de Courville,Head of Accident Prevention andFlight Safety at Air France, receivedthe Laura Taber Barbour Award of theFlight Safety Foundation. Thisdistinction, granted for the first time toa French person, rewards long-termwork in the area of aviation safety. B.de Courville is an A330/A340 captain.

On 20 October 2008 the Academyheld an internal seminar designed tore-dynamise links with our membersand correspondents coming fromoutside France.

This Europe Seminar, introduced byAcademy member Jean-JacquesDordain, Director General of ESA,met with a great success. Participantsemphasised the need for Europe topossess a capacity for collectivereflection on human activities relatedto air and space.

The Academy, because of its inde-

pendence and the skills at its disposalhas a major role to play in this area.The active participation of non Frenchmembers is particularly important andthey will continue to be recruited indetermined fashion.

The activities to be launched in thecoming three years within thesections and commission were thenbrought up. Exchanges on thissubject will serve as guides for futurework, making sure that all subjectsare dealt with from a European stand-point.

Lastly work methods will be improvedin order to facilitate the participation ofall members and correspondents.
