MS TAS Aero Aeronautical Engineering

■ ■■ to understand the global economic environment of the Aims aeronautical sector. The advanced master TAS Aero program leads to a one-year In 2011 we launched a new major in Engineering professionally-oriented master’s degree with an emphasis - TAS Aero FTE - which focuses on the issues facing aircraft on (AE). For some students having a and aircraft equipment manufacturers in the development and passion for flight testing, the master TAS Aero offers a Flight certification of new aircraft. Test Engineering major (TAS Aero - FTE). This major TAS Aero FTE is particularly suitable for engineers The MS TAS Aero enables students to develop a high level with little or no prior expérience in the field and also for those of competence in engineering science, current technology, already involved in auronautics who require further knowledge engineering design and management of aeronautical systems, of the above concerns. or flight test performances. The TAS - Aero programs are highly multidisciplinary and aimed at developing engineering skills Graduates of this master are capable of working in flight test to easily enter the work world with great opportunities and department to contribute to various kinds of flight testing significant chances of advancement on aeronautical projects, (certification tests, envelope expansion, performances, either in a research facility or in a company in a multinational handling qualities and aircraft systems...) environment. ■ Organization The programs are specially designed for students starting immediately after the completion of their master and for Heads of Program: industrial employees who have enrolled through their ■■ Prof. Didier DELORME companies’ continuing education programs.

TESTIMONies

Jeanne PANTINET, France, currently working for the Pierre MORETTO, France, Test engineer in Handling Customer Services of Airbus in Toulouse, within the qualities for the A 400M program at SOGETI, Graduated Engineering Support team specialized in Cabin systems in 2012. & facilities, Graduated in 2013 Why did you choose ISAE and apply for the advanced «First of all, my interest for aeronautics came very soon during my master? training at ICAM Nantes where I studied General Engineering. This is I wanted to make a professional conversion in the aeronautical the reason why I chose to do all of my internships in this domain. Once field. That’s why I chose ISAE, to make a training: With a high graduated from ICAM, I really wanted to be specialized in aeronautics, technical quality level, Meeting the needs of industrial groups, as I was targeting this domain for my professional career. My main Adapted to their working methods.Then, taking into account my objectives were to acquire a very thorough knowledge of aeronautical passion for flying and my interest for the technology, the choice of engineering and to be in contact with professionals from this domain. this advanced master was obvious. Hence, by the prestige of this school and the diversity of their According to your experience, which are the strengths of the specialized masters, ISAE rapidly became my first choice. master you did? I thus integrated the specialized master TAS Aero Eng, which offers In the field of the flight test engineering, I think that this advanced a very complete training, as we had courses in all the aspects of the master is the best choice.. Either the working methods or the aeronautical domain (Structures, Propulsion, Flight controls, Avionics, technical skills taught, give the necessary background to start a Maintenance, etc.). Moreover, we had the opportunity to develop job in this field. Moreover the high qualifying level of the lecturers relationships with professionals from Airbus, Dassault, Latécoère, etc. insures an optimal efficiency of your learning in the flight test On a general point of view, studying in ISAE also enables me to be engineering. part of an important network of aeronautical engineers, which is very Which are your career plans? rewarding for an engineer career. The main objective of this advanced master is to be involved in the flight As for my professional objectives, I firstly want to work in technical test engineering, not as a flight test engineer but as a test engineer jobs in order to acquire a good background, and then after several years either specialized in the flight or ground test. I’ve been working in the orientate my career to manager positions with more responsibilities. flight test engineering related to the handling qualities since the end Moreover, I really appreciate to work for a big aircraft manufacturer as of the master. So now the main objective is to improve my technical Airbus, which offers a lot of opportunities». knowledge in this field.
