Thales is a leading supplier of innovative cabin systems geared towards making flying a more enjoyable experience for passengers.
From the nuances of cabin lighting, to the interactivity of in-flight entertainment (IFE) and connectivity systems, Thales helps airlines design a relaxing atmosphere on-board.
Also, since acquiring the former Airbus Laupheim site, which produces floor to floor modules, overhead bins and crew rest compartments, Thales is now able to offer pre-wired cabin modules that come fully equipped with electronics. This integrated end-to-end solution will form a simplified approach that does not currently exist on the market.
Simulation systems reproduce high-risk situations in a safe, synthetic environment. They are particularly valuable tools for training pilots, drivers or critical infrastructure operators. Thales is the world’s second-largest provider of simulation-based training solutions for aircraft and helicopter pilots.
Having produced and supported over 1200 flight simulators for more than 50 years, Thales is uniquely placed to provide aircrew training for a wide variety of platforms and applications. Thales understands the needs of air forces and commercial airlines worldwide and delivers aircrew training equipment and flying training services to the entire aviation industry.
Thales is committed to reducing the impact of air travel on the environment and strives to design ever more efficient air traffic management systems. Thales’s Microwave Landing Systems (MLS) is a perfect example, reducing fuel consumption and emissions by improving the flow of air traffic and minimizing the time between departures and landings.
Innovation in this field can have a direct effect on making skies cleaner. After all, every minute gained on a flight represents a saving equivalent to 160kg of CO2 emissions and 62 litres of fuel.Thales has also developed the world’s first air/ground development facility for simulating air traffic management missions from departure to arrival gate.
Thales has been awarded a contract by the Service Industriel de l'Aéronautique to supply stand-alone GPS receivers for the French Navy's Lynx helicopters.
Thales’s new Reality H Dauphin N3/N3+ helicopter simulator was granted FTD Level 3 and FFS Level B qualification.
Thales is proud to introduce TopSky, the new branding of its Air Traffic Management automation solutions.
The French defence ministry has awarded Thales the contract to support its equipment on board the Rafale aircraft.
