If you've always dreamed of being a pilot, simulators will allow you to try out the controls of the Airbus A320, the Boeing 777, the Jet Ranger Bell helicopter, the Mirage 2000 and the P47 Thunderbolt, all legendary aircraft. To stay on earth, IPSA is organizing a conference by Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Philippe Henarejos on Thursday, February 9 at 3:30 p.m., to discuss space and especially the planet Mars.

Curious visitors can even find out what a Mirage engine looks like, or how a landing gear works. Equipment from the Safran Museum will be on display at an ephemeral exhibition, while urban graffiti artist C215 will paint portraits of personalities in the space and aeronautics fields on the campus walls. And let's not forget the exceptional exhibition of aircraft photos taken by the school's students! On February 14 and 26, two roundtables will be held on more sustainable aviation and the feminization of the aeronautical professions.
