The Aeronautical industry market is facing a rapid and continuous increase worldwide. Estimations are that the number of large commercial aircraft will double by 2030. Nearly sixty percent of the turnover is sub-contracted out all over the world and concerns mostlyproduction and manufacturing activities. As a consequence, most aeronautical subcontracting companies will have to increase their production rates but also to keep in step with technological changes; moving from metal-based processes toward composite materials processes. Moreover aircraft manufacturers have changed their supply chain structures in recent years, and subcontractors are now required to manage more complex parts and to take over, on their own, the qualification processes. The Advanced Master course AMPAS, is designed by IMT Mines Albi and ISAE-SUPAERO with the support of aeronautical industry partners. It will give a specialization to master level students allowing them to take over high level responsibilities in airframe structure manufacturing plants. It is especially well suited to students who have followed general studies in mechanical engineering, material science or equivalent and who would like to gain a major chance to be recruited in the aeronautical industry
