Onera 

The Heavy Burden

The Unwanted Gift

Burdens are rarely something actively sought after, but rather acquired unexpectedly. Onera is not a goddess in her own right, but she does pass from paradise to the mortal realm and back as needed, and is for all intents and purposes as immortal as any god. She has neither shrine nor heralds, she has no followers or prayers to invoke her blessings. 

When seeking the favor of certain gods, a mortal may be presented with a task. The more uncooperative ones will task a mortal with a trial they know they will be unable to complete; some unlucky mortals are saddled with Onera, expecting that they will cast her away from them long before reaching their goal and ultimately fail their task. 

There are six or more like her, often contained within shimmering eggs, seemingly fragile things that the mortal might worry about keeping intact to the end of their journey - but the joke is on them. Once a certain distance into the journey, the egg hatches, revealing Onera. (Or if you’re lucky, one of her more helpful siblings. If you are particularly unlucky, or if that god just really doesn’t like you, you may get her ill omen of a sister instead.)

She has, at times, been found unattended along the Hero’s path rather than given to them. Some accept their burdens willingly and grow to tolerate the antics of the minute deity, but most opt to leave her behind. 

First A319neo flight with 100% sustainable aviation fuel

Airbus, Dassault Aviation, ONERA, the French Ministry of Transports and Safran have launched the first in-flight study of a single-aisle aircraft running on unblended sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). During the flight test over the Toulouse region on 28 October, one CFM LEAP-1A engine of an Airbus A319neo test aircraft operated on 100% SAF. Initial results from the ground and flight tests are…

#Nexter's Katana ammunition tested in #ONERA's wind tunnel.

The 155mm KATANA technical team successfully tested the guidance function and ballistic behavior of the ammunition in this wind tunnel capable of covering speeds ranging from Mach 0.1 to 6.05.

Despite the particular conditions imposed by the COVID-19, the two campaigns took place in excellent conditions thanks to ONERA’s professionalism and excellent cooperation between the both teams.

The trials…
