Mastère spécialisé Aeronautical engineering, Aircraft design and Flight test par ISAE-SUPAERO

First semester:
Academic session of around 430h, provided by ISAE's permanent professors and experts from aerospace industry bringing current knowledge and experience, including:
o lectures, exercises,
o engineering and design study seminars,
o laboratory sessions,
o written report and oral presentation,
o practical sessions,
o team work and team business game,
o in
- flight practical study and industrial visits (Airbus, CEAT, etc.).
Second semester:
Students have to conduct a professional thesis in aerospace industry or in laboratory, in France or abroad, supervised by a tutor from the host organization and from ISAE
- SUPAERO. The thesis is concluded by the preparation of a report and an oral dissertation in front of jury.

The advanced master TAS AERO program leads to a one
- year professionally
- oriented master's degree with an emphasis on Aeronautical Engineering and Human Factors. It is composed of two major: one focusing on Aircraft Design process and Engineering (TAS AERO
- ADE) the other focusing on Flight Test Engineering (TAS AERO
- FTE).
The MS TAS Aero enables students to develop a high level of competence in engineering science, human factors, current technologies, design and management of aeronautical systems, or flight test methodologies.
The TAS Aero programs are highly multidisciplinary and aimed at developing engineering skills to easily enter the work world with great opportunities and significant chances of advancement on aeronautical projects, either in a research facility or in a company in a multinational environment.
The programs are specially designed for students starting immediately after the completion of their master and for industrial employees who have enrolled through their companies' continuing education programs.
The TAS Aero curriculum includes a broad spectrum of subjects with the following objectives:
- to develop an integrated approach of the product design development, while acquiring necessary skills in the disciplines and techniques of the aeronautical sector,- to make future engineers aware of human factors issues,- to facilitate work on multidisciplinary projects in aeronautics with a very practical approach,- to develop skills in project
- management, team building and team process at a multinational level.
A major in Aircraft Design and a major in Flight Test Engineering are offered concurrently.
The major in Aircraft Design Engineering
- ADE
- focuses on process and tools required during all Design phases from Conceptual to Detail Design.
The major in Flight Test Engineering
- FTE
- focuses on the tests to be conducted during aircraft and equipment development and certification.
This major FTE is particularly suitable for engineers with little or no prior experience in the field and also for those already involved in aeronautics who require further knowledge of the above concerns.
Graduates of this master are capable of working in flight test department to contribute to various kinds of flight testing (certification tests, envelope expansion, performances, handling qualities and aircraft systems...).
