His career before ISAE-SUPAERO

What was your academic background before joining ISAE-SUPAERO?

After two years in the ‘Classe Préparatoire aux Grandes Écoles’, I joined INSA Toulouse as a student in the Process and Environmental Engineering speciality (GPE, now GP3E). This course offers in-depth training in industrial, chemical and energy processes and the transformation of matter, as well as in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, renewable and fossil energies, environmental regulations and life cycle analysis.

Why did you choose to pursue a Advanced Master® at ISAE-SUPAERO?

My end-of-studies work placement at INSA, at Airbus, gave me the opportunity to explore aircraft life-cycle analysis and planetary limits. These environmental issues, applied to the aeronautics sector, aroused a keen interest and motivation in me. Wanting to deepen my knowledge in this field, I identified the TAS AERO Advanced Master® as an ideal course. Its global and sufficiently detailed approach to aeronautics, without focusing excessively on one specific aspect, corresponded perfectly to my expectations. What’s more, as my career ambition is to move into eco-design, the Aircraft Design specialisation offered me a valuable perspective on the different levers available.

His experience at ISAE-SUPAERO

What lessons, projects or activities at the MS have impressed you the most?

The group project on the design of a hydrogen aircraft made a particularly strong impression on me, as it brought together some of the knowledge and skills I had acquired during the Advanced Master®, as well as my interest in alternatives that could help to reduce the environmental footprint of aviation. The project was made all the more interesting by the fact that it was being carried out in collaboration with ONERA. I also found that there was a good balance between theory and practice.

How does the MS contribute to your technical and professional skills?

This Advanced Master® gave me the knowledge I was looking for about the product itself, so that I could better master the technical aspects, such as the materials used and their limits, dimensioning, optimisation, constraints, etc. Many of these elements enabled me to learn more quickly in my current job, and are useful to me today. Many of these elements enabled me to train more quickly for my current job, and are still useful to me today.

Did you carry out a work assignment or internship during your MS?

After the 6 months of theoretical training, and instead of continuing with a 6-month internship, I was taken on by the IRT Saint Exupéry for a one-year assignment at ISAE-SUPAERO, to work on research topics in decarbonisation and reducing the environmental footprint. In particular, I contributed, on a small scale, to the Aeromaps tool (formerly CAST), and helped develop a Life Cycle Analysis module in an aircraft sizing and optimisation tool (FAST-OAD).

His current career path

What is your current position? In which company or organisation do you work?

I’m an eco-design engineer at Airbus Commercial Aircraft.

What business sector are you in today?

In aeronautics.

How has your Advanced Master® contributed to your professional integration or career development?

As mentioned above, the Advanced Master® enabled me to acquire key elements about the design, functioning and operation of an aircraft. It also enabled me to add this knowledge to that which I already had in the environment, making my profile attractive to the aeronautical sector, for which decarbonation is a very topical subject.

What specific skills developed at ISAE-SUPAERO do you use the most today?

Structure and materials, aircraft design, aircraft performance, propulsion.

Has the Master's enabled you to achieve your professional or personal goals?

Completely. My ambition is to work in the aeronautical sector and on environmental issues.

3 questions to Marie Delaroche, 3ᵉ year student and MDRS 293 crew commander

Since February 18, seven ISAE-SUPAERO engineering students have been living a simulated Martian life and carrying out experiments in collaboration with CNES and several research laboratories at The Mars Society's Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in UTAH (USA)! For the second time, the mission is led by a woman: Marie Delaroche, a passionate #spaceexplorer, who was already part of crew 275 departing in 2023. We asked her 3 questions to find out more about the challenges of this mission and her feelings as #flightcommander! Alongside her, three young women and three young men in their 2ᵉ year of #engineering studies have taken on the roles of astronomer, scientist, botanist, journalist, health worker and onboard engineer. They are all members of the Mars Club ISAE-SUPAERO, a student association for the popularization of science focused on the Red Planet and the missions dedicated to its exploration and study. They are currently experimenting with AI4U, the artificial intelligence that assists astronauts in their daily tasks (environmental measurements, voice recognition, emergency exercises). They are also conducting a science popularization experiment in collaboration with secondary school pupils. Inspired by the film The Martian, in which an astronaut grows potatoes on the Red Planet, the aim of this experiment is to compare plant growth in Martian soil with growth in terrestrial soil!

AeroMAPS: an ISAE-SUPAERO reference tool for exploring the possible futures of aviation

The AeroMAPS tool, developed by two ISAE-SUPAERO researchers, Scott Delbecq and Thomas Planès, can be used to assess the environmental impacts of air transport and the effectiveness or limitations of levers to decarbonize the sector! Initially designed for research and training purposes, the tool is now a multidisciplinary, open-source platform, accessible to experts as well as institutional, industrial and associative decision-makers. Its development has been integrated into the work of the Institute for Sustainable Aviation (ISA), an interdisciplinary research institute headed by Laurent Joly, whose aim is to address the issue of #aviation's ecological transition in all its complexity. By playing on the sector's transition levers, AeroMAPS users can define the scenarios whose impacts they wish to analyze. For example, the introduction of new aircraft types, the use of new fuels or the rate of growth in air traffic. AeroMAPS is the first air transport scenario exploration platform built on an open-source scientific methodology. It was initially designed and developed to enable researchers to explore air transport transition scenarios in detail. It was then rapidly integrated into training programs: first in the ISAE-SUPAERO engineering curriculum, then in continuing education programs. To facilitate use of the tool, a partnership was formed with Sopra Steria. This major tech player built the platform's new web interface to enhance the user experience and make it accessible to decision-makers. Research work recently took on a socio-economic dimension with a PhD prepared by Antoine Salgas, in partnership with TBS Education. Antoine Salgas has also created a traffic and emissions inventory in collaboration with the Dutch Delft University of Technology. These two aspects of his thesis gave rise to an AeroMAPS “satellite” tool, called AeroSCOPE, which enables analyses to be partitioned and regionalized. Today, the comprehensive, multi-disciplinary aspect of AeroMAPS is a decision-making aid for the entire #aeronautics ecosystem. Through its scientific expertise, ISAE-SUPAERO contributes to the debate and to the future of aviation.

Understanding the Issues via our Aviation and Climate Reference Framework

Can we characterise the impact of aviation on the climate? What are the aviation and climate issues? Can we compare CO2 and non-CO2 effects? What technological solutions are being studied to make aviation sustainable? Can we link the rate of growth in air traffic to the proportion of the carbon budget devoted to aviation? Can we assess the energy resources available?
