Lucien Romani and O.N.E.R.A. |
Lucien Romani was an unsatisfied researcher and was always on the lookout for new ideas. Thus, without waiting for the end of the Nogent-le-Roi experiment, he continued to research in the wind energy field.
The Office National d'Etudes et de Recherches Aérospaciales, and its wind tunnel at Chalais-Meudon, participated in this research. Here are some photographs of the prototypes developed and tested together from 1950 to 1964.
