Former Atos subsidiary Bull has delivered the second contracted high-performance computing (HPC) system to aircraft manufacturer Airbus.

The supercomputer has been delivered to Hamburg, Germany, and is housed in a modular data center. It joins another that was delivered by Bull to Airbus in 2025, which is based in Toulouse, France.

Bull and Airbus have a multi-year supercomputing contract under which Bull supplies compute capacity to the company. This second supercomputer marks the completion of the project.

Through the delivery of these two supercomputers, Bull has tripled Airbus' simulation capacity, which will enable its engineers to improve existing products and design the next generation of aerospace solutions, including the actual aircraft, acoustics simulation workloads, and structural stress analyses.

The modular data centers that house the supercomputers are also provided by Bull, which pre-integrates them at its factory in Angers, France, before assembling them on-site. Once completed, they form a complete, turnkey data center.

Each data center uses Bull's Direct Liquid Cooling technologies to help optimize power consumption, and waste heat is then supplied to neighboring buildings. Details about the compute performance of the HPC systems has not been provided, nor details of its architecture.

Bruno Lecointe, head of HPC, AI, and Quantum Computing at Bull, added: “Our collaboration with Airbus to deliver a turnkey HPC solution is a cornerstone for Bull and our high-performance computing business. Being recognized as an HPC strategic partner by a global, world-renowned industry player is an honor for our teams.”

Last month, Bull revealed it had secured a €30 million ($35m) five-year contract to provide AI-optimized infrastructure at Sweden’s Mimer AI factory, based on Bull’s BullSequana XH3500 architecture.

In April 2026, the French state completed its acquisition of Bull, the artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), and quantum subsidiary of Atos, following the signing of a €404m ($469m) share purchase agreement between Atos and the French State on July 31, 2025.

Its BullSequana HPC systems form the basis for a number of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, with its X series architecture supporting exascale-class systems, including Europe’s first exascale system, the Jupiter Booster.
