Flying laboratories for scientific research

SAFIRE is the French leading facility for airborne research based in Toulouse, France. The architecture of SAFIRE is based on three aircraft, real flying laboratories. Each one has its specificities to better meet the needs of research. One of these, the twin-jet-engine, is the subject of an ambitious project aiming at significantly increase the capacity of the fleet by 2025. SAFIRE thus combines the technological excellence of on-board resources with the expertise of its personnel in order to carry out specific flights in support of research and industry.

SAFIRE is a unique investigation tool for a better understanding of our environment and climate, satellite validation and aeronautical development. SAFIRE is a public research unit common to CNRS, METEO-FRANCE and CNES, which thus pool their resources around these research aircraft.research.
