Flight test engineer qualification programme

Objective

OBJECTIVES
Over the last few years, the aerospace industry has been the subject of high expectations in terms of the development of leading-edge technology and new technological applications. But aerospace projects are very expensive, because of their complexity and duration, and competition from the Americans and Japanese is a major challenge. This is why the industry urgently needs to develop efficient co-operation on a European level and this co-operation is inevitably dependent on the harmonisation and improvement of initial and on-going training and greater mobility of aerospace engineers. The partners therefore aim to improve existing training programmes, set a common standard for skills at a European level and develop co-operation between universities and business.

ACTIVITIES
The partnership's first step will be to develop a model for co-operation between aerospace companies, universities and other training institutions. This co-operation will then be established and training modules will be developed in conjunction with the partners to achieve a common level of skills for all aerospace engineers (flight test engineers). The training modules and tools will then be tried out and evaluated during pilot courses and distribution and dissemination activities organised in the aerospace industry, other industries and decision makers at national and Community level. The partners will also work to promote the training of women to increase the number of qualified female engineers.

PRODUCTS
- Creation of seven training modules in the form of books, together with CD-ROMs, video cassettes and educational software. Tools such as data bases, electronic networks, simulation programmes and test flight equipment will also be developed. All the material is available in English.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
