In engineering school, learning does not happen in the classroom alone. That’s why ESILV encourages students to participate in various aeronautics student clubs on the Pole Leonard de Vinci Higher Education campus in Paris. As a part of this year’s practical pedagogy activities, the LeoFly Aero Club is organising seven different hands-on engineering projects. Whether […]
Still passionate as ever, ESILV students keep up their associative projects. While waiting for the 2020-2021 academic year to start, there are even more initiatives in the works within LeoFly, the aeronautics and aerospace student association of the Pole Leonard de Vinci. Six student projects are ongoing this year. LeoFly’s objective is to uncover to […]

On Wednesday, 16 October, Leofly Student Association hosted a talk with Jean-Claude Hironde, the engineer in charge of the Rafale project – spearhead of the French army – to retrace the history of the omnirole fighter conceived by Dassault Aviation and answer all the questions raised by this technological achievement. Jean-Claude Hironde took a step-by-step […]
Though aerospace and aeronautical engineering have the same principles, there is a critical distinction between designing for air and space. ESiLV engineering school trains students to become engineers in the aeronautics and space industry, through the Computational Mechanics and Modelling major, but it’s important to clarify the difference.
General Jean-Paul Paloméros, former NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Transformation, shared his experience on innovation in the field of aeronautics and defense. This lecture was organized by LéoFly, the student association of aeromodelling of the Pôle Léonard de Vinci. Jean-Paul Paloméros, also a military advisor to Emmanuel Macron during his presidential campaign, emphasized the need to […]
When the film The Fifth Element came out in 1997, it depicted a city full of flying cars…in 2263. Actually, one may have to wait 2020 only for smart cities to put drone taxis into circulation in the air. Focus on five vehicles that may be flying in a near future. Airbus, Uber, Intel… the […]
Putting theory into practice, taking part in projects and national competitions, satisfying a passion: focus on ESILV’s technical associations. There are no higher education institutions without student associations. With over 40 of them, the Pôle Léonard de Vinci’s schools are no exception to this rule. ESILV values and support the creation of associations by students. […]
