The City of Longueuil is proud to be associated with the Aerospace Heritage Day.
I want to actively contribute to discovering the evolution of this sector, from yesterday to today. The know-how and ingenuity of our pioneers in aeronautics have contributed to the development of our city, in addition to positioning it strategically on the international stage.
During this day, several activities are planned, including exhibitions, kiosks on the history of the airport and the local industry, in addition to the presence of several historians.
A great family activity!
See you soon,

Geneviève Héon,

Creation of objects related to aerospace:

At 11:00 a.m., in the agora, children (and adults who haven't lost their childlike soul!) will be able to assemble Lego objects related to aeronautics and space.

At the same time and in the same spirit, in a classroom of the École nationale d'aérotechnique, an origami workshop will be organized. Here is an example of what could be achieved:

From 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the agora and in an ÉNA classroom.

Speaker :

A former printer, Jacques G. Ruelland holds a bachelor's degree in philosophy, three master's degrees in philosophy, history, and museology, and a doctorate in history of science. He taught philosophy at the École nationale d'aérotechnique from 1979 to 2010 (31 years), with some forays to the Longueuil campus, as well as history and museology at the History Department of the University of Montreal in title of associate professor from 1988 to 2018 (30 years). Signatory of 54 books and now retired, he teaches history at the Université du 3e Âge of the University of Sherbrooke, works for museums and is still as passionate about philosophy, history, the arts, sciences and Literature. He is also vice-president for orientations and pro tempore secretary of the Société historique et culturelle du Marigot de Longueuil.

Lecture Synopsis:

This lecture describes the development of the aeronautics industry in the Longueuil agglomeration from its timid beginnings to its current prodigious results which make Greater Longueuil an essential center of attraction for any player in this industry. By taking charge of the reception of the R-100 in 1930 and the opening of the Saint-Hubert airport, associated with the proximity of the river and the opening of the Jacques-Cartier bridge the same year, Longueuil knew attract and bring together Canadian and foreign industries and the main players (schools, agencies, etc.) in aeronautics on its territory and contribute to their prosperity and that of the entire population.

Duration:

60 minutes followed by a question period.

At 10:30 a.m. at the auditorium.

Speaker:

Engineer in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, member of the OIQ, holder of a master's degree and a Doctorate in Industrial Engineering, Neila El Asli has taught for more than 15 years in various engineering schools in Tunisia and Quebec. She is a research associate and teacher at the École de Technologie Supérieure (ÉTS). She is also a project manager on advanced air mobility within the SDG Innovation (Smart Digital Green Innovation) network.

Lecture Synopsis:

Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), regional and urban, is an emerging sector of air transport that has emerged thanks to major advances in the field of propulsion and the growing need to improve services to people. The MAA is not intended to replace existing means of transport, but aims to improve them so that they become part of a sophisticated and seamless multimodal transport system. By 2030, an infrastructure network (vertiports) will extend to all major regions of Quebec and will offer a sustainable transportation solution thanks to electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. This first network will connect all regions of Quebec, including geographically remote communities that are not adequately served by current land and air transportation. Compared to traditional helicopters, these eVTOLs have the potential to provide more affordable, efficient, sustainable and green transportation services in urban, suburban, rural and remote communities. This network of vertiports will promote the emergence of an MAA technological ecosystem in Quebec and will thus offer significant positive socio-economic benefits.

Duration:

30 minutes followed by a question period.

At 14:30 a.m. at the auditorium.

The movie "AVIATURE" by Bruno Boulianne (2000) will be screened twice in the auditorium:

Documentary on bush pilots who crisscross the sky, flying over the boreal forest to the tundra of Quebec's Far North. An endangered species, bush pilots encounter lakes, rivers and forests aboard their seaplanes every day. (Source : ONF-NFB).

Note that director Bruno Boulianne will be present for the second screening of the film.
