AIRBUS HELICOPTERS and ISAE-SUPAERO (Toulouse, France) create the Advanced Master’s program, Helicopter, Aircraft and Drone Architecture

The first advanced degree program dedicated to aircraft, helicopter and drone architecture


Toulouse, France, Jul 6, 2017 -- Degree programs designed for professionals and specialists must integrate the evolutions and needs of the sector concerned. This is true in the aeronautics field where the development of drones accounts for a significant share of the market which will continue to grow in the future. And many technical, industrial, regulatory and logistic constraints have emerged in this sector of the future.

By 2025, the civil drones market in France promises to grow 25% for operators and nearly 20% for manufacturers. The international market and professional uses point to a spectacular leap in particular in the fields of safety, thermography, inspections and surveillance. The security and defense sectors are also very concerned by the development of high performance drones.

Today, AIRBUS HELICOPTERS and ISAE-SUPAERO have significantly expanded the Advanced Master’s program, «Aircraft and Helicopter engineering» which has existed since 2003. Now, called «Helicopter, Aircraft and Drone Architecture», this degree program includes three components dedicated to helicopters, fixed wing aircraft and drones. Around one hundred hours of courses are also dedicated to design, certification and operation of autonomous systems. This section completes the fundamental concepts in architecture and regulatory aspects of aircraft as well as flight dynamics, propulsion, avionics, piloting, and guidance of helicopters and aircraft.

Unique at the international level, this program provides technical skills as well as advanced engineering expertise preparing graduates to identify problems, envisage alternatives, and adapt solutions on aircraft, helicopters and drones. It answers the growing need of aeronautics manufacturers and designers of drone systems who are seeking engineers capable of switching easily from one type of aircraft to another.

AIRBUS HELICOPTERS and ISAE-SUPAERO have reinforced their partnership by launching this innovative program, of which 25% of the courses are delivered on the site of Airbus Helicopters in Marignane in Southwest France.

Other industrial firms, including Thales Systèmes Aéroportés SAS and the SME Delair Tech, support this approach which reinforces the positioning of the European industry on the international market.
