AS Paris changed its local board at the end of June 2024 and we are pleased to present you: Julien Bordier, the president; and Andréa Rambourg, the vice president. Both are starting their 4th year at the EPF Engineering School in Aeronautics & Space master’s degree. They are both currently doing their internships at FutureLog (logistics) in Paris and the business jet airline Air Alsie in Denmark. The secretary Clément Perez and the treasurer Antoine Madej, are both in their 3rd year, and are therefore taking over.

AS Tampere Team Albatross’ journey to Air Cargo Challenge 2024
A few months have passed after the 2024 Air Cargo Challenge in Aachen, and it is a good time to look back at our journey in the competition.
AS Braunschweig visits A320 Flight Simulator
At the end of April this year, members of our local group in Braunschweig had the unique opportunity to visit the flight simulator at TU Braunschweig. This simulator offers an incredibly realistic replication of the cockpit of a modern Airbus A320 and is part of the Institute of Flight Guidance (IFF). Like the real aircraft, the simulator’s cockpit is equipped with two seats, reflecting the fact that the A320 is operated by two pilots. This setup allowed two participants to sit in the cockpit at a time, taking turns in the pilot’s seat.
The Soaring Legacy of Hot Air Balloons in Paris from AS Bordeaux
The history of hot air balloons is deeply intertwined with the city of Paris, where dreams of flight first became a reality. This journey, rooted in the Enlightenment, began with the audacious experiments of the Montgolfier brothers in the 18th century and continues to inspire innovation today. The 2024 Paris Olympics will pay tribute to this legacy with a unique, flying Olympic Cauldron, symbolizing France’s enduring spirit of creativity and adventure.
Participation to ILA Berlin from AS Braunschweig

Empowering Students Through Competitions and Technical Projects from AM Cairo
As students, we are always striving to learn and develop our skills. However, deciding whether to pursue an academic or industry career path can be challenging. One effective way to explore our interests is by participating in student competitions. Over the years, it has been proven that competitions help students become more innovative, develop critical thinking skills, gain more knowledge, and acquire hands-on experience that cannot be obtained solely through university coursework.
Air Cargo Challenge 2024 from AS Aachen
The Air Cargo Challenge (ACC) 2024 was hosted by the Aachen Drone Development Initiative (ADDI) and AS Aachen, and it was a fantastic three-day event. ADDI had the opportunity to host the event this year by winning the last edition of the ACC that was held in Munich back in 2022. It is a competition for university students in the engineering or science fields, which offers practical application of the acquired knowledge in aircraft modelling.
