ISAE-SUPAERO is deeply committed to offering its students full access to its research capabilities as well as its academic and industrial partnerships, cove-ring the entire field of aerospace engineering. From a research policy point of view, the dual objective is to foster the development of new knowledge as well as to answer the needs of the aerospace industry. The main research partners of ISAE-SUPAERO are ONERA (the French Aerospace Lab.), LAAS-CNRS and OMP (Astronomical Observatory Midi-Pyrénées), the largest French laboratories in the engineering science and space fields. ISAE-SUPAERO has numerous long-term

research and development agreements with the main European aerospace companies: Airbus Group (Air-bus Defense & Space, Airbus Helicopters), SAFRAN (Snecma, Turbomeca, Microturbo, Technofan), Thales Alenia Space, Rockwell-Collins, MBDA and Liebherr Aerospace. Reflecting its longstanding commitment to aerospace higher education and research, ISAE is a member of the management board of the Aerospace Valley cluster (550 aerospace companies and higher education and research institutions from the Aquitaine and Midi-Pyrénées Regions).

Research laboratories host students from all of the school’s programs to complete their research projects.

Acquiring research experience

12 13

ISAE-SUPAERO scientific activities are organized into 5 training and research departments:

•The Aerodynamics, energetics and propulsion Department develops its research activities on four axes:- turbulence, instabilities and numerical simulation- turbomachinery and propulsion- advanced aerodynamics and flow control- aerodynamics and propulsion of micro-air-vehicles.

•The Mechanics of structures and materials Department is part of the Clément Ader Institute that gathers in a single laboratory all the research capabilities of the Midi-Pyrénées Region (UPS, INSA, ISAE, Mines Albi). ISAE professors’ research is focused on:- damage to composite materials in aerospace structures- fatigue of metal materials and structures- dynamics of structures.

•The Electronics, optronics and signal Department is organized into 4 research groups:- microwaves and optronics for embedded systems- image sensor research team,- signal, communication, antennas and navigation- space systems.

•The Complex systems engineering Department this department concentrates research driven in the multidis-ciplinary scientific fields of mathematics, computer science and control theory. It develops methods, techniques and tools that make it possible to understand, analyze, evaluate, control and design the functional and operational behavior and performances of complex systems.

•Finally, the Design and control of air and space vehicles department is dedicated to the efficient and safe design and operation of vehicles.The three research groups: Air&Space Vehicles Design, Decision and Control, Neuroegonomics and Human Factors are using unique experimental platforms like instrumented aeroplanes, mo-ving base flight simulators, satellite ground stations or brain sensors to perform their activities. The research car-ried out at DCAS is multidisciplinary by nature and implies close collaboration with other departments and external laboratories.

All 5 departments support a micro-aerial vehicle development program at an international level, on the basis of student projects, research and innovation projects, and international competitions.
